Discipline:

Artist, photographer, fine art video maker

Location:

Leeds

ABOUT:

My practice is personal and observational in nature, drawing upon my diary writings to create poetic works. The diary is a deeply personal place, where richer emotions are expressed, but are hidden amongst meaningless small talk. I am heavily inspired by Walter Benjamin’s theory on the aura of works, as well as John Cage’s lecture on nothing. Working within the realms of the digital and physical, with a pencil or a stylus in my hand, I create works which are either in the relatability of the human, or in the distance of digitalisation.

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.
