Tell us a little about your piece?
When the letter U was revealed to me, the first word which came to mind was unity. I allowed this concept and the unique shape of the letter to dictate the storyboard for my piece. Inspired by my travels and some of the magical places I have visited, I had the idea of creating two towering houses united by a secret, subterranean bridge, uniting the two seemingly separate structures.
​
What was the most challenging part of the brief?
After settling on the concept of the piece, the most challenging part - technically speaking - was joining the 'U' on both sides. I found it exciting to overcome and to use the shape of the letter to guide the aesthetic and creative outcome of my design.
​
What part of the brief did you enjoy the most?
I enjoyed multiple aspects of the project, however I was most excited about working with the natural and warm colours I was given. Balancing them harmoniously and allowing them to compliment each other while telling a story was my favourite part.

How did you enjoy working with Senses Paper?
I found the Senses Paper very elegant and delightful to work with. I loved the choice of colours I was given and certainly think their natural tones inspired me throughout the creative process.
