This website acts as a portfolio of my work over the nine months I spent completing the MFA programme at the Ruskin School of Art. I have chosen this method of display to bring forth the interactive and orbital aspects of my practice.

Each of the works throughout my entire practice is related to each other, displaying them in this way is a homage to their existence as a symbiosis, a community of such. Turning 3D works of art into 2D beings is tough, how can one get behind (literally) something that has been squashed into a different dimension? With the help of web interfaces, I believe this method of absorbing my work is most effective. No scrolling to the end, everything orbiting everything.

Navigate the site using the themes at the top of the page in any order,
Enjoy the proliferation.

Statement:

The work is rooted in process, often altering familiar objects to draw attention to their presence and state. An antagonistic partnership of formalism and realism, the work is both critical of and submissive to these theories. Open to interpretation, the processing teases out the ‘thingliness’ of the object, centring its material state as the point of orbit.

Elevating placement and combination as forms of creation, the artworks exist in flux, often being reincorporated or integrated with other works to form something else. Like us, and our existence, in a constant state of transition yet never severed from their past references.

Experimentation lies at the heart of this process, uninterested in antonyms like theoretical/practical, material/conceptual, truth/fiction, the work leaks its existence all over them. Often sympathetic to the artist's working-class, queer roots, it stretches further afield into withdrawn states of being.
