Subjects move. So I set a timer for three minutes and create what I can in that time.
I find this often produces the most interesting results.
As Orson Welles once said: “The enemy of art is the absence of limitations.”
Similar to the 3 min sketches, I set myself a time limit. Usually about 20 mins, but sometimes longer.
These are a simple pencil drawings of two people I love. They look me less than one minute.
I love charcoal. It’s so messy and using charcoal sticks forces me to work with mistakes and bring them into the piece.
Sometimes details can cripple the effect of a piece, so the goal is to edit and simplify.
Watercolour requires a lot of patience, so I’m keen to learn more about building layers.
I focus a lot on form and tone, mainly using charcoal and pencil. So I wish I could use colour more and be better at it.
I love the bold use of colour by artists like Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse.
Film, journalism and video projects I worked on. More footage to be added.
Below the ocean surface is a world that is vast, distant and alien. We are now able to understand and explore more of this realm with technology.
Join Caribbean marine biologist and explorer Diva Amon live from a deep-sea submersible examining the health of Mesophotic coral reefs off the coast of the Seychelles. She is joined by prominent experts and industry leaders to explore the potential of technology and how it can be harnessed to better steward ocean health.
Hacking, leaking and disputing the facts, it's never been easier to distort the truth. Thanks to the digital revolution, anyone can dispute established facts and share it with the world on social media - be it for commercial or political gain. But when the line between fact and fiction becomes blurred the very fabric of our society can be endangered. Public trust in traditional media and political institutions has plummeted and some argue the unity of our nations is at stake. How can a free and fair media still operate in a digitised world and restore trust in political debate?
World Debate
As populism rises across the globe, is it playing on the politics of fear or is it an overdue rebellion of the forgotten?
This session was developed in partnership with BBC and broadcast at the World Economic Forum in Davos 2017.
Inclusive and sustainable economic growth often leads to the development of democracy. We ask if Africa's current growth can deliver political reform and civic freedom or will Africa end up richer but not freer. Join Zeinab Badawi at the World Economic Forum Africa Summit in Kigali, Rwanda. Where a distinguished panel including President Macky Sall of Senegal, Francis Gatare CEO Rwandan Development Board, Graca Machel of Mozambique, Carlos Lopes Executive Secretary of UN Economic Commission for Africa and Winnie Byanyima Executive Director of Oxfam International will be taking tough questions from the audience in Rwanda and from others who have travelled from across Africa.

The 48 Hour Film Project is a sleepless weekend in which a small team of us took part in a competition to make a movie - write, shoot, and edit - in just 48 hours.
On Friday night, teams draw a genre from a hat. They are then given a character, prop and line to include in their films. On Sunday night, in a wild dash to the drop off event, the film is turned in - and teams celebrate. The film is then screened at a local cinema in front of an audience of filmmakers, friends and families.
This is our team (Open Aperture) entry for the 48 Hour Film Project that took place in London on the weekend of the 22nd October 2010.
