Inspired by the visual language of architecture, design and craft, I work as a printmaker from my studio in SE London. My work examines the tipping point between comprehension and misunderstanding, experimenting with the gap that exists between the two. I always start by documenting life to then reimagine it into something new. My current project reconfigures fragments from our daily lives to become something more precious and less real, encouraging the viewer to rethink what they are looking at.

Public Output

“A Makers guide to Storytelling” Research paper selected for the Illustration Research Symposium at Kingston University, February 2021. My presentation referenced my collaboration with the Crafts Study Centre, UCA, exploring the link between materials and meaning. I take my influences from the altered worlds of architects, designers and makers, my work is about ambiguity and the hierarchy between fact and fiction.
