Using old and new digital technology from an analogue sensibility, my work stems from an interest in people, objects and social comment using film, photography and alternative technologies. The imagery I produce offers questions about community, the political climate and societal observations.
I’m based in Hackney in east London. My recent research has been concerned with the effects of the pandemic on mental health and how the increasing wealth divide is changing the city landscape,
Recent projects include ‘A Temporary Glitch’, a series of camera-less photographic portraits that reflect the confusion of 2020. ‘Expiration Guides’ is a series of black and white night-scapes of Hackney murder sites from the past 40 years.
I’ve just completed an MA in Fine Art at UAL and have a studio in a former lawyers office next to The Gherkin in London’s financial district.
