2021. Inkjet on paper and cardboard with tape (wall mounted). 6” x 6” x 1.5”
The online meme reads: “My life feels incomplete unless I know there’s a package arriving from Amazon.” How wonderful then to have this diminutive work hung upon the wall to always fill that emptiness within.
2021. Acrylic on canvas with cardboard and mixed media. 27.5” x 20.5” x 1.5”
An interplay between the real and the fake, the actual and the implied. Taking its title from the name used by IKEA for all its artificial plants (the Swedish word for ‘fake’), the work depicts a plastic plant painted on a cardboard colored canvas. Everything is handmade despite alluding to mass production, commerce, and trade through the packaging and trademarks; which themselves have been appropriated and re-worked.
2021. Ink on paper with sisal twine. 39.4" x 3.5" x 1.5"
Why sell out when you can buy in? If Duchamp was right—that art ‘is in the service of the mind’ rather than the object itself—and that contemporary art collecting is for ‘bragging rights based on an artist’s brand’, why not have both? In this instance, possession, promise, and potential all in equal measure. A measure, here, that just happens to be exactly one standard metre in length.

How do we make peace with incomprehensibility; embody the histories we inhabit; bind to our collective and individual trauma; mend our embodied wounds; and embrace our scars both physical and spiritual. How do we avoid self-righteous harm in favour of healing.

2009. Acrylic on Belgian Linen. 56” x 72”
Oscillating between drawing, painting, and print, the work eludes easy media classification, emptying out logical assumptions with regard to narrative, medium, and formal attributes. Produced near the end of high modernism, the Valiant was meant to be Plymouth’s sporty new car line for the people.
2013. Screenprint, coloured pencil, mirrored foil. 27" x 39"
A reductive and satirical subversion of print media’s historical function, the work addresses the power of print as propaganda tool and how history is written by the victors. The polka-dots are excerpts from the Gutenberg bible, ‘Quillnosit’ is gibberish, and the viewer’s gaze is reflected in the silver foil mirror.

An acronym for transcendence, impermanence, and rebirth, depicted are forms that undergo transformations from their original materiality. Despite its otherworldly longings, the piece is purposefully tacky and relies on cliché, trope, and new-age iconography in order to convey the impossibility of depicting such subject matter.
