This won’t last,
Verge Gallery, 2025
This won’t last is an installation that takes on ideas of the contemporary ruin to explore impermanence, disembodiment, failure, and decay.
The exhibition in a broad sense is a response to questions I have pondered lately;
Can a ruin ever be complete, or is its essence always in the process of becoming? Do ideas shape the world more through their clarity or their ambiguity? Is a ruin a mask, or a memory unravelling?
Through hand building and sandcasting, layered monoprints and soundscapes, disguised office furniture, field recordings, and videos on phones, the work draws on fragments of personal history, speaks to the artist studio as a site of ruin, and speculates on a collective dystopic future that is quickly closing in.

The door is ajar, The exit a dead-end
Galerie pompom, 2021
An exhibition of stained glass, steel and ceramic sculpture, and paintings.
The works use trompe l’oeil tactics, with motifs and metaphors of the abject body to look at everyday dilemmas of tummy troubles, size anxiety, memory loss, and creative block.

The Sun is Setting
(and there is nowhere left to hide)
Fauvette Travelling Scholarship: SCA Gallery 2019
The Sun is Setting, takes on the look of a Spaghetti Western movie set, with works acting as props and backdrops for an ironic take on the genre. Heroic solitude is spat on through sexual innuendo, anthropomorphic self portraiture, and the idea of absence as a void through which one can see into.

An Anxious Tableau
MFA exam exhibition, SCA gallery, 2017
My Masters Exhibition brought together works from a two year period. Ontological themes of anxiety, loss and fragmentation, and the artist as pathetic comedian, were key drivers for this body of work. Looking at humour as a way to disguise and reveal meaning, and working with both traditional and ad hoc materials and modes of making.
Born Toulouse
Fontanelle gallery, 2016
A video work in three parts where a simple act of making a cup of tea goes awry. Three anthropomorphic plinth pieces, and a self portrait on stilts.
