Born 1983, Southport. I like French cinema, beards, brown cake. Dislike Jeremy Kyle, tapeworm and writing about oneself in the third person.

| 关于此艺术家 |
Much of my subject matter is derived from my fascination with lowbrow popular culture, which often orientates around interactions between the mundane and the marvellous; and I am filled with intrigue and delectation for its place within the arts, which is typically high culture.
I instinctively gravitate towards satire as a vehicle for communication, as I believe that satire seeks a shock of recognition, often by ridicule of the chosen subject, thus becoming implicitly constructive.
