A lot of my work starts off as a joke, a fleeting thought- then it becomes serious. I think that there's a lot of truth in humour, and believe that it's one of the most honest forms of delivery.
Initially, my practice was concerned with queer archives, signalling, and the concept of the remix. I have explored this through painting, video, writing, and installation, interweaving these mediums to translate, repurpose, and reappropriate images.
As of recently, my interest has turned towards the industrial, and using industrial materials. Growing up in Derby, with a family in the trades and grandparents who moved from other places and countries to work in factories across the East Midlands. I have developed an interest in factory signage and industrial materials, and how these can be combined with queer identity and humour.
Humour has become a major part of my practice, as a way of translating perhaps more personal experiences into immediate and relatable moments. I believe that humour is as meaningful as “serious work.” For me, humour is a way to be more truthful and honest.
