Born in 1974 in Buckinghamshire to a large, Catholic, RAF family, I grew up in the north of Scotland and spent my teenage years in the north of England. I have lived in Portugal, Barcelona and Ontario, Canada and am currently based in Cumbria. |
| About the Artist | |
Coming from a storytelling, surrealistic place of personal tales and scenes, I explore mythologies, boundaries and experiences that help build personal identity. Reality can seem a paper-thin construction of our own perceptions. I also am interested in our relationships with everyday objects and how what we surround ourselves with can build a solid sense of self that is, again, only an elaborate construction of meaning in the face of chaos. |
