Works, Projects and Exhibitions

Creating collections of objects and images lies at the heart of my art practice. My girlfriend often likens me to the Disney character Wall-e, both of us embracing the well-known adage "One man's trash is another man's treasure." The objects and images I collect are usually found, some I’ve received as gifts, every now and then they’re self-made, and a very small number have been purchased or 'permanently borrowed'. Subsequently, these collected things find their rightful place in installations, performances, storytelling, drawings, photography, and printed matter.
