At its heart, my practice is about connection and conversation. I create artworks that bring people together, surprise them, or invite them to interact. I’m fascinated by moments that unfold slowly, when something initially appears static and then reveals a layer of play or a small punchline. Whether it’s a sculpture, a drawing, or a fountain, I like my work to be sneaky, experiential, and full of surprises.

Gifting, humour, and specificity are recurring themes. I’m interested in making art that feels highly personal, even functional — objects created with one person in mind that others can also relate to. I love how a very specific gesture can open up a broad emotional response. I also think a lot about pattern, layering, and how the ordinary can hold extraordinary stories.

Maximal, never minimal. I’m drawn to colour, pattern, and playful detail. Whether in my work, how I dress, or how I install a show, I enjoy creating a “party for the eyes.” My identity includes humour, generosity, and storytelling. I love hidden linings, layered elements, and the idea that a viewer might discover something they weren’t expecting.

Joy, openness, and the pleasure of visual abundance. I want my work to be welcoming, with multiple points of entry. Pattern and colour act as a kind of armour for me — a visual strategy that helps me feel strong and safe, especially during difficult times. My approach often invites conversation, and I enjoy how pattern can be a bridge between people.

I always think about the whole space. Wall colour, floors, folds, and surface textures are part of the story. I used to have a very experimental artist website, full of hidden icons and surprising navigation, which artists loved but curators found frustrating. I redesigned it in 2020 to strike a better balance between discovery and usability.

I also run a podcast called Pattern Portraits, where I interview people about the patterns that have shaped their lives. I then create an abstract portrait through those patterns. It’s a way of capturing someone through visual storytelling.

Yes. Pattern is central. So is the idea of function — sculptures that double as gifts or domestic objects. From bouncy ball shelves to terrazzo fountains, these works are playful but also deeply intentional. I want them to be visually engaging and emotionally generous.

I’d love to do more public art. My terrazzo drinking fountain at Kingsgate Workshops was a recent highlight, and I enjoyed learning to use outdoor materials like concrete and glass. I’m excited to create more work that appears in everyday spaces, where people can encounter it by chance and make it part of their lives.

Yes. I want to keep expanding across disciplines and collaborating with different kinds of thinkers. I'm working with law professors at Bristol University on a project about “known unknowns” in legal reasoning, and it's stretching my creative approach in new directions. I’m also releasing a bonus podcast episode in partnership with Liberty London, which is a dream collaboration come true.

Alongside the upcoming shows, I’m especially fond of my fountains, my linoleum inlay works, and the sculptures made as personal gifts. Each one combines humour, care, and storytelling. I also enjoy the pancakes I make for my son — little edible portraits that remind me art can live anywhere.
