About:

I am a London-born artist who creates large-scale digital collages that critique structures of power and oppression. Often depicting iconic, religious, kitsch and mundane imagery, my labour-intensive artworks reframe the contradictions required to believe in, and adhere to, these systems and institutions. My practice explores exploitation and production schema, from religious organisations to capitalist institutions, highlighting the repetitive nature of existence and the correlations between the various authority structures that govern our lives.

The resulting artworks are characterised by a fetishistic attention to detail, with my largest works taking years to create, they contain multiple nuanced layers that unfold slowly for the viewer. Epitomizing the fact that within these systems of power it is often difficult to see the wood from the trees, my artworks betray what at first glance might seem to be benign, as furtive and open to a multitude of malevolent interpretations.

Many of the artworks available are digitally-native, and as such, could be used for a variety of purposes, from wallpaper and window decals, to custom prints and textiles. If you are interested in commissioning a custom work, or would like to discuss using my art for an unconventional purpose, please contact me as I am happy to discuss any collaborations or creative projects.
