All of these videos have contributed to my understading of what I want to accomplish with my final years installation

- focus on movement and intensity of pattern through continuous line and colour
- small distortions of pattern and colour through using a range of supports - corrugated plastic, making a distorted circle on a bean bag.
 - I want each work to be playful, and bring about a slightly different sensation so that together they create an environment where the viewer is confronted with a range of sensations and mesmerising imagery.
