Press Pack: View
Centred around the idea of creation through play — where play itself becomes a form of luxury and artistic language, these works invite viewers to explore this universal language as an entry point into my colourful universe.

Stepped Display
A selection of works from the studio... chaos, form, colour and energy!
My Loose Ends collage works are self-generating and an exploration of my own visual language in varying degrees of volume, shape and form, micro or macro, simple to complex. I like to think of art as a space to inter-connect different ideas, expressions and things together. Like grabbing two big power cables and seeing what happens when you connect them, or you plug them in the wrong way.
Acting like a 3D collage, the display bringing together artworks, objects and printed elements in layered conversation. It plays with height, rhythm and viewpoint to encourage a sense of exploration, inviting the viewer to look, pause and discover. The display is dynamic and ever-changing; as pieces find new homes, the composition shifts and evolves throughout the show.
Expect studio one-offs, multiple print editions, singular sculptures and one-off framed pieces. All works on display are available for immediate purchase both online and in-person.
Selected Wall Works
Oil Stick Paintings
A collection of large-scale oil stick paintings rooted in childhood imagination. Made using pure pigment sticks and my fingers, these pieces channel the joy and immediacy of crayon drawings made as a kid—full of bold movement, colour, and emotion. Collage-like forms are scaled up to epic proportions, bursting with energy and expressive mark-making. Imagine finding your mum’s best lipstick and scribbling with wild abandon—it's that kind of energy.
Plasticine Reliefs
A series of sculptural wall pieces made from neon-bright Plasticine, manipulated and squished into highly polished, custom-built cases. These works turn up the weird and wonderful—amplifying the playful, silly materials of childhood into something both luscious and larger-than-life. Frivolous and tactile, they speak in the language of play, joyfully celebrating imperfection, instinct, and experimentation.
