Experimenting time.
The most fun part of a project no idea where it will lead.
I've been thinking about home mobility aids, hand rails mainly. And how climbing hand holds are just mobility aids in another form.

As my practice is growing I'm really starting to think about how I'm archiving my work more. The need for tangible physical connections to work is very strong

When your amazing partner gets you beautiful roses and you immediately hug them then get to work filming 😊
I've been amazed by just how much people have been caring for each other / checking in / having compassion.
Currently in full editing mode for my solo show @levelcentre

Recovery time!
St Ives was amazing but took it out of me so this weekend I've been in recovery, allowing my body to rest up and heal.
Starting to do work again today but its important to listen to your body and build in recovery where you can

Just had a Beautiful chilled weekend catching up with @jj_cruickshank
Just relaxing and chatting in beautiful Liverpool. Its been a tough Winter and spending time just being with a friend was exactly what I needed.
We saw a bunch of art, drank a million cocktails and let our bodies heal.

Guess I'd better introduce myself then.
I'm an artist from the West Midlands UK with a pet tortoise called Zuul and a love of Vintage Scifi.
A lot of my work looks at how we coexist with the planet although its often in a funny playful way.
Escaping the meta trap.
