Illustrations for Liberty Annual Report

I was commissioned by Liberty (an organisation that campaigns for civil liberties and human rights in the UK) to design their 2014 Annual review. I created a number of images to illustrate the different fields in which they work.

Exposing immigration detention

Questioning unsafe and unfair counter-terror policy

Inspiring public action

Protecting privacy

You can see more of this project on my website. It's an area I find really interesting and it was a great project to work on.

Merry Christmas!

Living Links

I created this image for Living Links, an Irish charity offering emotional and practical support to those bereaved by suicide. This weekend (Sunday 29 June, 3pm) there will be a Remembrance Event at Brigit’s Church, Killeshandra, Cavan for family and friends who have lost a loved one to suicide.

Pocket Places Peckham in situ

Here are a couple of images from the Pocket Places Peckham Spaces event which took place along Rye Lane over the weekend. It was a great event and was vey well received by the local community. Well done Hannah!

Pocket Places Peckham Spaces

Pocket Places Peckham is a 2 year project for Sustrans (sustainable transport charity) involving the creation of temporary and semi-permanent interventions around Rye Lane in Peckham, South London. The culmination of this project is a community event taking place along Rye Lane on Saturday 7 June. I was commissioned to create a poster, booklet and a series of maps and signs for the event. http://pocketplacespeckham.wordpress.com

Active Citizenship

This is the illustration I created (and the poster on which it was used) for the Active Citizenship event at UCL in May.

UCL Anthropology

These illustrations were created to appear on posters publicising different MA courses available within UCL Anthropology. The images represent the following pathways: Culture, Materials & Design, Environment & Development, Medical and Social & Cultural.

Five Million Born

New book/ebook cover design for Orchard Wall Publishing - Five Million Born, an IVF Companion Guide.

The Sea and the Silence

I was commissioned by Orchard Wall Publishing to create the ebook cover and some digital banner ads for The Sea and the Silence, a novel set across the decades following Ireland’s newly won independence.

The lighthouse is metaphorically a symbol of safely and beacon of hope amidst a turbulent sea. In this image, the lighthouse has been inverted (reflected in the sea) suggesting the turmoil (both political and personal) taking place throughout the book. Presenting the symbol as a mirror image is also suggestive of how certain themes in the book mirror each other through history and evokes the circularity of the story.

Available now on Amazon!

BE - One Word Brief

This is a piece of self-initiated work in response to the Onewordbrief. The word in this case is BE which I have interpreted as BEhind. The image is about departure, leaving the past behind and embarking on a journey. As the narrative moves across the triptych the landscape changes, we see urban bustle dissolve until the individual remains standing alone on the edge of the city.

WHFS Annual Report 2012

It's always a pleasure to work with the good people at Women's Health and Family Services. It's the third year running I've worked on their annual report and this time the brief was to create a series of illustrations highlighting the different areas in which they work and the various services they offer - e.g: interpretation, elder social care and healthy eating advice.
