Based at APT Studios Deptford, London, UK, my work is concerned with creating spaces for humans to inhabit, either physically or in the imagination.

The sculpture to wear series creates a sheltering skin that protects or alters the sense of self in a hostile world. The sculptures have elements of ceremonial architecture and costume, both contemporary and historic. Physically they test the tension between protective constraint and freedom of movement.

The large scale works look architectural but in their scale still crucially relate to the human body, and create spaces suggesting shelter and containment. Although contemporary in feel they have historical cultural references. Their forms often suggest a usefulness or functionality and they can often literally contain the viewer.

I record interactions with my work using digital and traditional photography.
