I am an artist exploring class and the built environment through video and photographic installations and publications. My practice is grounded in my experiences growing up in Merseyside between 1982 and 2003—a period I consider overlooked in recent British history. I draw on an evolving archive of photographs, videos, and research materials developed through both artistic practice and my work as a property inspector, which forms the foundation of my work.
I create images and installations that connect past and present, centering on moments of arrival and departure in public space, regional identity, memory, and lived history. My influences range from landscape painting of the industrial revolution and the traditions of British social realism to the energy and aura of early UK techno, jungle, and house music.
At the core of my practice is the idea that division can also serve as connection. By reframing class, geography, and identity, I construct alternative narratives that resist black-and-white thinking reinforced by social media and rising segregation. My works are made for sharp, immediate encounters that open deeper reflection on contemporary political and historical events, across both physical and digital contexts.

Foyer
A generative project that uses the foyer as a site to create new works, conversations and collaborations within a public context. The idea is that this space is a stage that alludes to the city beyond it, where exchange happens between those that provide services and those that receive them.
