I am a situational artist responding to what I see and hear whether at personal, local or national level. I have made work inspired by political events including Covid, Harry and Megan’s departure to America and Just Stop Oil protests, to name a few. I have made work connected with personal events such as my own travels and home life.

My work twists between 2D and 3D, with a strong element of theatre or at least static performance, leading to work in many mediums. My working life has been in construction, translating 2D designs into 3D reality, so perhaps this is inevitable. After many years as a building surveyor usually dealing with clearly defined technical and measurable issues answered by equally measurable answers or solutions, it’s fun to be released to grapple with the ambiguous, emotional and even unanswerable issues of life through my art.

I am currently focusing on my own recent life journey, using the mediums of painting and writing. Whilst I commonly explore my own history, the more I know of art history the more I find myself consciously and subconsciously referencing other works and other artists.
