At work in Ahmedabad, India
A multi-disciplinary artist, I use my practice to explore and articulate the fluid relationship between object and meaning.
I'm curious about how my perceptions, my understanding of things and ultimately, my actions, are shaped by non-verbal social adaption, by biology and by circumstance.
Through sculpture, painting and photography, working indoors and out, I respond to that moment’s preoccupation, using the spatial circumstance and available materials to translate it into form.
I studied fine art at Leeds Beckett University. Establishing an artistic practice in 2017, I have exhibited my work in three solo exhibitions, wallflowers (2024), unfixed (2022) and show face (2019). I’ve also taken part in a number of group exhibitions.
Temporary site specific works, strait and narrow (2024), salvage (2023) and line (2022) were installed in India, Morocco and Finland, respectively.
A film of salvage was runner up in Multimedia Category of John Muir Trust Creative Freedom Exhibition 2024 and my work is featured in the anniversary edition of LandEscape Contemporary Art Review.
I’m a successful, freelance film editor, cutting award winning content for television transmission and promote the craft of editing by facilitating training courses.
