an artist resident in the UK, I also currently lead a BA (Honours) Fine Art programme at a UK university.

About my artwork

My work reframes small acts of economy; temporary
communications and homemade signs. I work with what is both
incidental and uncomplicated. I translate these communications
giving them an unexpected legitimacy or improved purpose.

Charles Ray, Robert Smithson, Tom Friedman, Holbien, Bruegal, Fischli and Weiss, Stephen Shore, Keith Arnatt.

Interests

Film, Football, Throbbing Gristle, Derek Bailey

The centre of the artworld is

nowhere and everywhere, another city
