About the Artist

I use and combine many different forms - paintings, constructions, installations, text pieces and digital animation. Usually these have been gallery-based, but I have also shown in other formats such as shop windows, architectural spaces and in printed and digital magazines.
I take pleasure in making things and in using colour; also in researching the historical and social background to my work, which does, I believe, make it more solid and complex. I enjoy writing as a way of clarifying my ideas or communicating them to others. I am currently working on a project about the south London street where I lived as child and combines my faint memories of that time with the contemporary events of which I was unaware and the presence of the street itself.
