ABOUT:

As an artist, I do not like to limit myself to one material or subject matter due to the fact I get bored easily and like to take myself on various journeys. My only aim is that the viewer should make their own meaning behind the work as I believe it is up to them and not to me. Even though I sometimes tackle difficult themes, such as my own childhood, I always want my work to have elements of fun and playfulness. This often comes from my love of comedy, particularly the surreal and the absurd. I am not afraid to present myself in a humorous way, whether it be dressing up as a 19th century man or taking on the guise of a fictional character. Art becomes a tool to express myself and so the process is often more important than the final outcome. I am also one of the co-founders of the art collective Round Lemon.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
