Absinthe

Absinthe is a stage design created for a theatrical play about physics, matter and psychology.

Dark reflective panels covered with splattered paint suggest a vast and mysterious universe. A custom laser light sound visualiser allows sound to be seen, because the laser beams are distorted by the frequency of the voices of the actors.

The Armor

The Armor is a theatrical costume created for the character Richard III in a stage production of a Shakespeare play. The costume is made from recycled and disused materials.

The design reflects both the king and the vulnerable man within him.
