A B O U T

Some may say I do things with language. But principally, I use collage to draw directly upon the visual characteristics found in historical print, painting, and sculpture processes to examine relationships between images and words to represent actual or imagined identities.

Drawing provides the initial basis for what happens in the studio which evolves into a parallel programme of making often achieved through other kinds of media. As a result, each time a transformation takes place something different occurs. Ultimately, the process of making finds a way to speak or interfere with an established pattern of meaning such as perceptions of value, class, or identity which have always been the foundation for what I do.

Based in the U.K. I work and live between Manchester, London & Scotland.
