Creative and Craft Work

Artist’s Tools

I utilise a combination of historic and modern techniques in conjunction with natural tools and ingredients to create custom pigments, textiles, and even storage solutions for artists.  

Textile and Fabric

I have created a number of custom, self-drafted, and tailored garments from knit and sewn methods. 

Photography↗

Original and commissioned images shot on mirrorless. My focus has been on protest and improvised performance.

Print and Physical Meida

To accompany curatorial projects I have made a number of print works including linoleum, cut paper, and other intricate book designs.
