I have studied the sequence of bee pollination and how crucial it is to our natural world and ecosystem. Using textiles and sewing inspired by the natural, organic process of pollination, I have created a piece portraying the vast power one bee alone holds in the prosperity of our living world, inspired by a powerful statistic included in my image. I have really enjoyed exploring textiles and sewing for the first time across my work, incorporating machine embroidery, hand sewing, tactical composition of fabrics and using the back of my sewing work in some areas to create interesting layers, textures and lines in my image. I think my image could be seen in an educational magazine or online campaign for environmental awareness. Overall, I loved exploring textiles, a medium which is new to me, and feel I have created an impactful, interesting sequential image.

I chose to look at a more broad idea of animals in sequential imagery, I decided to look at people who have rare species for pets. Especially with the cultural boom of the docuseries Tiger King, I have a heightened awareness about people with extraordinary and endangered animals as pets. Also the idea of the modern social media influencer advancing to a stage where the new ‘in’ thing is to have a crazy pet seemed like a fun idea to me.

My project researches into the history of the London zoo, in particular focusing on a tale of a ghost bear seen at the Tower of London. In my final piece I wanted to illustrate this story in a tarot card style print, combing ideas of three dimensional space and aiming to make it seem like the prints are moving to bring the story to life.

I looked at the practice of Chinese medicine which has traditionally involved using various body parts of tigers to be crafted into different medicinal and pharmaceutical items. I have researched the different body parts that have been used within these medicines and why they are used. I wanted my final piece to showcase a tiger drawn in a Chinese folk style to gradually melt throughout the page to represent the use of tiger bodies in a grotesque craft.

The focus of my work was the exploration of honey bees decline causes and how air pollution cuts the short life span of wild honey bees. I set out my work by using different techniques such as line drawing, printmaking, collage, etc. through my drawing process I endeavoured to explore a new way to save bees from extinction because if they die we will die too, my final work includes a very friendly message all about plant flower to save pollinators.

I chose to look into the domestication of bunnies, and how they went from the common wild breed to the many domestic breeds through selective breeding. I also looked at the sequence within a rabbit's binky, a jumping instinct in common with all the breeds. For my final piece I illustrated the timeline of rabbit domestication in the form of a binky as an animated gif.

My illustration portrays a sequence though a story of my dog running off and getting lost in the woods, I created a flip book style frame by frame of each movement the dog makes to create a sense of life in the final outcome.
