His work is predominantly visual and aural. He uses painting, photography and digital media to produce solutions (either temporary or long-term) which explore sensations of embodiment, detachment, perception and consciousness. The working processes can be spontaneous and improvised, or involve deeply considered methodologies of refinement.
He has willingly created art since childhood, finding mystery, necessity and contentment in the processes of developing visual languages. But he is not satisfied by working with an established formula. It is essential for him to constantly push the expectations of image making, and to understand the potentials and impulses within an idea.
He exhibits in Cornwall and the South West, and more recently London. He was recently featured by Saatchi Online, and has been shortlisted for the first Door Prize for Painting, to be held in Bristol in March 2012.
He has a background in graphic design, and has produced work for a variety of individuals, community groups and clients.
