I am a multidisciplinary artist working in the UK. My art practice concerns objects and materials, and their relationships with people and places. My work can be disruptive in the space it occupies. Surface interventions may encourage memories and forgotten feelings to arise. My more ephemeral work expands through documentary media, drawing, photography, printmaking, sound, text and moving image, all pathways to relative permanence and wider audience engagement.
Design commissions are not abandoned. I am increasingly sensitised to their social and environmental impact and consider only projects that reflect this.

I commissioned and art-directed Dan Fern for illustrations in a corporate capability brochure by Citibank Mortgages. The intended reader was investment bank leaders. Dan produced a trio of works that took cover and full page positions. The design team then fragmented the illustrations for use as visual punctuation within the typographic narrative of the brochure. Tim Fendley (applied_wayfinding) and I shared credits for design and typography.
