Born in the Black Country, between two industrial towns, I moved through diverse work environments—from demolition sites and production lines to building luxury yachts for the rich and bloated, from cleaning offices to selling insurance to art collectors, and working in a tattoo parlour. These experiences were pivotal in shaping my understanding of the intricacies of labour and human value that are fundamental to my vision and approach.

As a multi-disciplinary artist, I delve into the intricacies of cultural value by repurposing found materials into "visual compounds"—a technique reminiscent of collage, montage, or simulation—which I use as a base medium. Working in drawn, painted, and sculptural forms, I combine wood, clay, leather, animal skins, and metal fabrication. Through mimicking industrial production methods, I create work that invites discourse around our rituals and provokes thinking about alternative futures.

Through research into branding and semiotics, I scrutinise the power structures that foster inequality and environmental degradation. This investigation challenges how capital-driven agendas manipulate our self-perception and social bonds. With this foundation, I cast a critical eye on dominant Western principles, examining our values in a globalised society where culture has homogenised and prevailing systems prioritise statistical metrics over community.
