current projects

School of the Damned - Class of 2019

Tough Matter - As of January 2018 I co-founded a platform for discussion and collaboration across visual arts and music with fellow artist Ashley Holmes called ‘Tough Matter’. The project aims to create a discourse between these outlets through a number of strands, for example our ‘POSTER’ series - a commission for a selected artist to create two new prints, a playlist and a live AV event, bi-monthly NTS radio shows and the ‘PHOTO’ series, where artists are tasked with filling a disposable camera with the results displayed online in all their unedited glory. www.toughmatter.co.uk

CUTS - a multi-sensory archive documenting the internal and external factors that shapes the lives of a group of women over an initial period of three years, using the prompt of a haircut to initiate an exchange of some sort.

dontlookbutt – an online gallery of an irreverent drawing project where I combine blind contoured portraits with comical titles. Please see instagram @dontlookbutt.
