I am an artist from Torbay, Devon and I'm currently based in London, UK.
My work spans across all mediums, from painting, to sculpture, performance & tattooing.
I studied a BA in Fine Arts in Bristol & an MFA at Wimbledon College of Arts, graduating in 2019. I've worked in several art galleries such as Bernard Jacobson, Newport Street (Damien Hirst) and am a founder of Uncovered Collective, which is a group of creatives who hold exhibitions for emerging artists.
Currently I mostly create handpoke (stick and poke) tattoos, from a private studio space in South London. I also work as an SEO Manager at Spaced Digital, a digital marketing agency based in Bethnal Green, London.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My practice is a slow investigation through different media.
Currently I am developing multiple series of digital works, responding to the uprising of NFTs. Whilst I do own a tiny amount of crypto myself (which was a crap investment btw), I feel the act of trying to own a digital artwork is pointless. When applied to a society, this behaviour & trend borders on insanity.
As for the work itself, mostly I attempt to analyse & define my moral / political identity against the current social landscape.
Autobiographical works contain direct story telling motifs, providing a curious insight in to a self-declared identity & perspective.
My work is often naïve & flies in the face of harsh fundamental truths. I often work with pessimistic themes but try to sugar coat this in a peculiar humour.
