Untitled.

An online collection of my work at Central Saint Martins and beyond. In this collection I mainly work within an Art Department, or as a designer in my own right.

Trailer for where I've been for the last 6 weeks!

Secret Cinema Presents: The Shawshank Redemption

For this production I curated Secret Gallery, which brought artists work revolving around the themes of the film to the platform, some of my favourites being Tom Gallant's Chapel Windows created exclusively for us, and Priscilla Coleman's amazing genuine Court Sketches from UK and US court cases.

Teaser for the short film I propped and make-uped for. Hopefully full film soon!

The folks over at Bush Theatre asked me to dress the theatre for their festival RADAR, which gives a professional platform for new writing and Fringe theatre, opening up discussions for the future of performance.

The word and overall language was really important to them, so I wanted to give the impression that the discussions and new voices that are emerging were hanging int he space and coming from the walls.

To finish off the summer in style I assisted on the Art Department for Future Cinema's take on Grease in Barnes Common.

My role was to create signs, posters and banners to ignite Rydell's School Spirit into the retro setting. Most was done using customised stencils. (The giant SENIOR CARNIVAL seen in front of the stage being the most fun to recreate!)

For one of my final projects at CSM I wanted to create a window display for Selfridges inspired by retro and vintage culture and lifestyle.

I drew a lot of my inspiration from furniture and vintage magazine adverts and layouts. So I decided to turn these into 3D collages, where all the objects would be large, flat photographs printed in colour halftone (a kind of pixelating for printing) to exaggerate the colours and create a distorted image.

These are some images I hastily took of the money I created for Secret Cinema's Prometheus. Orange chips were £10, Blue were £5 and Yellow/Green were £1.

I chose florescent acrylic to make the edges light up and really give a great look and feel to the money.

We also added white stamps to some of the chips for authentication.

I worked with Secret Cinema once again on their latest production, this time the newly released Prometheus was chosen.

My task was to create another money system, this time with a futuristic twist. I set about creating plastic credits for use “on board”.

I was asked to create the makeup and special effects for a friend's short film 'The Lycanthroper', about a werewolf's struggle of everyday life.

It's not quite ready yet, but here's a couple of shots the werewolf.

I recently discovered that the Future Shorts team had taken some beautiful photographs of my work for Secret Cinema, here they are in all their glory!

Here is the trailer for Secret Cinema's latest production of The Third Man, where I was an installation artist.

You can see the exchanges I made at (0:59)

"So Long, Holly" was Secret Cinema's latest production.

In Farringdon, Farmiloe & Farmiloe on St John's Street, was transformed into post-war Vienna inspired by The Third Man.

As part of my final year, I was enlisted as an installation artist, where I created currency inspired by the Allied Forces, and designed the exchanges where the audience exchanged their pounds into the occupied currency.

Above are some images of these exchanges, more to follow!

There's a Secret

This term I have been working with Secret Cinema to help create their wonderful space inspired by a film.

I cannot divulge any information as to what I have been doing, but it's very exciting!

The Guitar Straps and Microphone I bejeweled were featured in December's Issue of Harper's Bazaar, sported by some of the world's greatest original supermodels.

[lucycooperdesign]

I recently worked on Duran Duran's video for 'Girl Panic' - which was in association with Harper Bazaar, Swarovski and The Savoy.

Here is the 'behind the scenes' short about Swarovski Elements, of which my role as Art Dept Assistant I worked with very closely (see me talking about my work!)

[lucycooperdesign]

A further behind the scenes look at the guitar straps and microphone, made with Swarovski Elements, in the midst of creation.

BRUSH PAST 

Charing Cross Road, 2011

A collaboration with Florence Mein. This was an interactive gallery experience open to students wanting to commemorate Central Saint Martins before it moves to King's Cross later this year.
