CUSTOM-MADE COMISSIONS

Whether it be a bespoke piece for theatre, film or any specific kind of performance art or project, I create costume designs which serve and clearly communicate your concept and ideas. Beginning the process with initial sketches to final designs to a specialised fully-made garment to support and encourage your creative vision through costume. Upholding your concepts translation as a performer or creator.

Philosophical thinking is a key aspect of my design abilities, extracting from a book, text, play, opera or script etc an inspiring philosophical meaning & translate that into a costume design which is effectively related to the audience.

CONCEPT DESIGN AND CREATION

I am able to present a diligent and comprehensive approach to concept design & creation with clarity to convey your narrative, character or message.

Offering visual concept design through sketching, extensive research, material experimentation & attention to detail & design thinking with nuance regarding narrative & concept.

As well as working alongside you in concept creation through a range of techniques such as script & character analysis and researching thoroughly into historical, social, political, social standing and cultural background. I will support your concept ideas & go on that journey with you by reading between the lines to develop a strong multidimensional concept before taking ideas into the visual realm. Working with you to interpret your passion in an expressive & efficient format, developing ideas together.

MASKS, HEADDRESSES AND ACCESSORIES

Masks, headdresses & accessories can be an integral part of serving a character or performance, playing an important role in the completion & effectiveness of a costume design. I offer custom-made and designed masks, headpieces & props etc, supported by experience in spot welding, wood-cane, clay work, paper mache. As well as my background in textiles & fine art techniques to create intricate, striking & well-made pieces.

These components to a costume are sometimes the key function to create a completed design, which transforms the performers experience in playing their character or displaying their message or concept. Let’s work together to create what you need to express your artistic conception.
