Killed by a Conker !

Killed by a Conker asks the viewer to succumb to the idea that conkers have their own energy. It’s a whimsical journey that finalises in a mini fashion collection. If you ate too many conkers you’d die… so I didn’t eat the conker I made a Fashion Collection instead !

If you ate too many conkers you'd die...

HumanKind have probably tried.

Instead we use them for games and decoration,

to use them in this project was a temptation.

But forget this human need,

forget this human greed.

Let the conker be.

A clash of green and red,

lying on the woodland bed.

The softest matt,

waxy armour holding back.

A Spiky warning,

seedlings spawning.

A promise of life,

denied and we'd all pay the price.

See beyond what you've been told you must,

a fisted hug, circle husk.

All conkers are energy,

same as you, same as me,

energy can't be put into your food chain hierarchy.

Look at the world this way,

and see this truth today.

If you ate too many conkers you'd die,

so I didn't eat the conker, I made a Fashion collection instead.
