About Me


Im an artist. I like pidgeons, trees, electric fuses, lightbulbs and the long list of things in my interests section. I enjoy wandering around London & discovering exciting places & new things. I love sitting on my roof with the wind on my skin carrying the excitement & pulse of London in every breathe. I love dancing barefoot in fields and watching the moon.I help organise a night of performance, art, music & chaotic happenings called The Red Velvet Curtain Club and have discovered a meglamaniac love for microphones & exhibitionism.
