Alternate
What is real? What is unreal? And what lies on the edge of perception in between the two? All I know is the life I have dreamed and the life I have lived. I play with those experiences in an attempt to create work that questions reality or at least offers alternatives in the form of the uncanny.

How Far Have We Really Come?
Crimes against women happen on a daily basis around us, whether physical abuse or honour killings or pornographic images in media and magazines ‘ready for the male gaze’. I appropriate these media to problematising these issues with the hope to raise awareness of the unacceptable treatment of women across the world in terms of religion, culture and society.

Yorkshire Exploitation
My work centres on illustration and manipulated colour photography, I use these mediums to explore my interest in cult pop culture and regional identity. Yorkshire Exploitation is a tongue in cheek celebration of Yorkshire culture in a fake guise of Pulp fiction novel covers, comic strip art, and B-movie film posters.

Towards the Metaphysical
I want to observe the ordinary in order to uncover new meanings; initiating events and happenings that attempt to go beyond the commonplace and re-interpret it. Metaphors for both the temporal and spiritual abound in the ambiguous, faceless and shady figures of civil servants. In these times of austerity and money worries, we can pin our hopes and fears on them. Temporal are the global markets, and spiritual is our need to work.

Brutal Obsession
My practice explores the structures, aesthetics, and boundaries of post-minimalist sculpture. I make drawings as three-dimensional structures, sculptures that have a dialogue with their surroundings in the gallery space. I attempt to understand my personal obsessions through working with the same simple form, the cube, over and over again as the literal and figurative ‘building block’ of minimalist sculpture.
