My work takes many shapes and forms. Although primarily a painter, I have worked in many media to suit the subject matter of my work. This has included, woodwork, kinetic objects, and video.

My work is very much to do with particular moments and the feelings that they invoke upon us. Some of my paintings are romantic images, whilst others are studies of people in various states of monkey business-like pleasure. In this way I act as an anthropologist, studying everyday acts of human absurdity and emotion. For example in “Big Yellow Taxi”, where an extraverted youth dons a yellow Pokemon outfit that is clearly far too small for him. His friends laugh around him, but more interesting than this are the subtle details, like the watch he wears, a reminder that the child in him will be gone in the morning when he wakes up for work, such is the transition into adulthood.

In the video piece of my dad’s exercise routine he performs a number of absurd actions, such as using a chest expander on his calf muscles, pacing up and down, and drawing the curtains as though he wants privacy only when he has finished the workout. It is these little wonders that I am interested in.

Recently I have been looking at representations of people, using objects to become linked to a person, and the ways that these associations provide meaning in our relationships. For example, the sewing machine of a mother may respond in the same way as a heart to a lover. My anthropological search continues, this time seeing people as objects and object as people.
