Artist Statement

 

My My work is both conceptual and intuitive. Underlying this is an interest in places and their vibe, the past visible in the present. I often make art about modernist legacies, futures which haven’t quite worked out according to the dream. I'm also highly influenced by the changing seasons.

​

Modern in the Wild is my latest project made in remote Northern Sweden.

​

The Lounge Lobby series is set in mid-century modern hotel lobbies. 

​

Grand Designs 1923-2023 series considers modernist villas which were abandoned due to war or regime change and their recuperation after violent interludes. 

​

Ghosts of IKEA was a post-apocalyptic imagining based on memories of IKEA in North London, our personal walkthrough implanted in our muscle memory. 

 

I often explore ubiquitous modernist values of which I'm a product, something which is experienced as a quiet abandonment. 

 

I work in oil on linen, watercolour, drawing and print, letting the pigment bleed uncontrollably.
