I am a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Birmingham. I have a studio in Balsall Heath which I share with Andy De Comyn, who is a public artist. In my practice, I make paintings, photographs, videos, pen and ink drawings, collage, traditional prints, and sculptures My work is about documenting the "seen and the obscure", mapping connections of what seems to be random works, that features coincidental, accidental and unexpected connections. It is my own typology, that is private, subjective and unfiltered. I work fast without contemplating the mark-making, this way of working, with sweeping movements documents connections and energy.
