About Me


Artist
Work spans a multi-disciplined approach, including film, installation, photography and painting. Much of it is based on aspects of landscape and the self – unobtainable, decaying, urban.
After working for a time with film, photography, digital media and site specific installations. Recently has returned to the more traditional disciplines of painting, printmaking and collage for latest works. Whilst still exploring the colours and textures of the urban industrial environment.
"I thrive on exploring different techniques and processes, pushing the medium and combining media, creating experimental surfaces.I am interested in language and environment and each piece is a response to a situation or place. Narrative and its subversion play a key role in the development of the work. Each piece is both dialogue and argument."
His work has been shown both locally and nationally; including London, Edinburgh, Sheffield and Birmingham.
