I am an artist who explores the theme of class within the context of the built environment through video collages and photographic installations. Drawing inspiration from my personal experiences growing up in Merseyside during 1982-2003, a period I believe has been overlooked in UK history. My archive of photographs, videos, and research materials, compiled from my work as both an artist and property inspector, serves as the primary source material for my work. 
My goal is to create images that evoke a sense of connection between the past and present, focusing on moments of arrival and departure in public space, regional identity, memory, and recent history. My work is influenced by landscape paintings of the industrialised north, social realist British documentary makers and photographers and DJ sets from early UK Techno, Jungle and House pioneers.
The idea that division is something that can bring us together is embedded within my practice, creating an alternative narrative - allowing the viewer to circumnavigate black and white thought patterns pushed on us by social media and increased segregation. Finished works enable deep and impactful engagement with contemporary political and historical events in short, sharp doses across physical and digital displays.
