“I have been recently looking into the spheres of Scientific research and Science-Fiction and digesting the web of information via drawing, installation and photography. This series of photographs are a development of work I was doing where I was trying to fabricate domestic UFOs. I am currently exploring where scientific anomaly ends, science-fiction and conspiracy begin in relation to the artifice of image making.”

“I never really know what to call the type of art i create. It is compulsive like outsider art but can never be classed as this as i am studying art and have a greater awareness. So i like to think of myself as an inside out artist. Everything inside comes out and it still would even if i were a plumber…”

“Language is both our freedom and our restraint. Books have the power to influence, educate and inspire us. There is often a guilt associated with classic books we haven’t read. My work explores books that have inspired me. These revisited books begin to create my own list of books to be read. Reading leaves no material trace, but can forever change and alter our outlook and perceptions. This work attempts to create a trace of reading and interpretation…”

“I started creating paper cuts during the second year of my Fine Art degree at the University of Lincoln. After experimenting with different cutting techniques and a variety of paper, now in my third year I have begun to focus my work. Using a craft knife I cut tiny, repetitive, circular patterns into paper. A structure of connecting circles builds over the sheet so some of the original form has been kept, but the page also becomes really fragile…”

“Birds are symbolic of freedom, peace and fragility. Flocks of birds can stir emotions of awe, fear and majesty. Ornithologists have documented birds for many centuries; capturing them from life with accuracy and realism. I have studied birds from life and in photographs: my drawings strive to obtain a high amount of realism; alluding to the works of bird artists such as John Gould and Edward Lear…”

“The faerie tale is a common element of childhood; the majority of us will have been brought up with stories of the fantastical whether heard from a voice or through the written word. As adults our imagination begins to diminish, it weakens and shrivels into reality. We begin to trust what we can see in front of us. We grow old. However the pressures of our burdening daily lives drive us into withdrawal…”

“My work is about the forgotten, the left behind. Using the given history, context and how the past resurfaces in the present as starting points, I physically interrogate the surface revealing the poetics of specific sites or objects, adding my own brittle traces in the process. I am a collector of what is infinitely collectible, the stuff of human passage, the debris of humanity, our dent in time…”

“I unintentionally find myself taking on the role of a social documenter, presenting drawing’s that begin their existence as mundane occurrences, relying heavily on impulse and association in order for an image transformation…”

“I see myself as an onlooker of things, as a visual archivist collecting and re-articulating the presence of forgotten spaces, narratives and memories. I am interested in lost ideals and fading emotions, of places that I feel need reawakening, to be given a second existence.
I don’t like to define my work within a single medium, instead I choose whichever reciprocates my idea. I have however been using recently photography, film, video, sound, collections and texts…”

“Painting is a form of play. In my most recent works, I have employed rocks, mountains, cliffs and other such solid forms of nature as the starting point of my paintings. Their firm presence and concrete contours enable me to describe them in the most diverse ways of the organic versus the systematic. Forms of the familiar have also emerged in the process of composition…”

“I have recently returned from a year out where I was a chalet host in Tignes in the French Alps, following that I went on to travel around India and the rest of South East Asia, where I was able to explore my fascination in photography to a higher degree.. Previous to that I was studying at St Martins Art College practicing in fine art…”
