Artist Statement

I am a Scots-born disabled, sex, and kink-positive neurodivergent artist living and working in the Midlands. My work takes a conceptual and multidisciplinary approach to discuss ways of connecting and disconnecting with people and places in modern society.

Influenced greatly by the alternative and grunge movements of the early 1990’s my work encourages introspection and is concerned with intimacy and isolation, and finding ways to express how these emotions affect us all. By drawing upon pop cultural iconography (some universal, some deeply personal) I create a touchstone for the audience to ground themselves upon while the work occurs around them. The work urges a recontextualization of the everyday, a reappraisal of what we consider normality, and encourages the viewer to question their place in the world around them.

In addition, I work in comics as an artist and colour flatter, having worked with IDW Publishing, Hatchette Partworks Ltd, and a variety of independent projects.
