Instructions for accessing:
Access the video of ‘Portfolio One’ above then select examples using the times next to the work by scrubbing along the timeline without clicking, then a thumbnail will appear which demonstrates the image at that point – then click to access. *Note: this is the closest resolution possible in this format to the work created but it is still several times less than the actual resolution images were captured at.
The URLs in the list below will lead to online video or an aspect of the artefact - or the text of the paper. I try to keep to one example of each
