LANGUAGE IN MOTION

British Sign Language through mixed media, photography, motion and play.

I transform the visual language I grew up with into a world where signs become images, movement and opportunities for human connection.

PHOTOGRAPHING LANGUAGE

Primary research exploring BSL fingerspelling through hand positioning, form and readability.

Selected studies from a series of 63 photographs.

FROM PHOTOGRAPHY TO FORM

Each of the 26 BSL fingerspelling handshapes was isolated and refined before being brought together in the final compositions.

COLOR EXPLORATION

In Adobe Fresco, I explored six color directions, testing how shifts in mood, contrast and visual rhythm could shape the final visual system.

THE VISUAL SYSTEM

The refined backgrounds became recurring visual environments across the final 26-piece BSL fingerspelling series.

FROM LANGUAGE TO IMAGE

I refined photographed BSL fingerspelling handshapes in Adobe Lightroom, then composited them into my original digital artwork in Photoshop.

A–Z, REIMAGINED

26 BSL fingerspelling letters transformed through image, color and form.

LANGUAGE IN MOTION

The A–Z series moves beyond the still image through rhythm, sequencing and motion in Adobe Premiere Pro.

THE PROCESS BECOMES THE PROJECT

From physical making and photography to digital image-making and motion, each stage became part of the final visual language.
