A London based artist working with photography, video, installation, digital manipulation, and print.
Searching beneath the surface by unpacking the layers that we keep secure is a fundamental aspect of my work. Often nostalgic, sometimes beautifully melancholic, I make tender unsettling images drawn from my reflections of human behaviour. Using multiple layers of digital manipulation on my photographs I paint with pixels to create digital prints. My moving image work takes these visuals through slow mesmeric animation to quietly unfold a narrative.
