About me
I'm led by ideas, which I focus mainly toward furniture, Interiors and installations. I can't resist a bit of humour, and like my work to be inclusive, interactive and, above all, fun. I started out having a book of drawings published called 'Unventions' - a collection of everyday objects with a comical and lateral twist, which then led to me making my ideas in 3 dimensions. The first being the Banana Pool Table.
Projects
  • Unventions
    UnventionsA collection of my first ideas based on everyday objects with a whimsical, and comical twist. Published in 2011 by carpet bombing culture.
  • Corner Ladder
    Corner LadderThis was a lot of fun, and has yet to go on show somewhere. I made it by sketching out the design on paper and forming the wood as laminations along the outlines. It's completely usable in everyday corner situations.
  • Twat Bag
    Twat BagOriginally a drawing, this was an idea I took forward and had produced. This involved sourcing the leather, creating the print, engraving the rivets etc, and finding somebody to craft it perfectly. It was then selected for the 2013 Threadneedle Prize for art, which saw it go on show at the Mall Galleries, London.
