About
My practice spans painting, sculpture, installation, writing and digital media. Through an ongoing artistic framework called The Constant State, I construct imagined cultures and temporal landscapes using the visual language of architecture, archaeology, museums and scientific archives. Individual works are presented as fragments of a larger world, inviting audiences to investigate fictional places through the evidence they leave behind.
I believe imagination and creativity are fundamental human traits. Rather than simply sharing my own imagined worlds, I want to demonstrate what becomes possible when imagination is taken seriously. My work invites audiences to become active participants, constructing meaning from objects, environments and archives, and leaving with renewed permission to imagine worlds of their own.
Architecture continues to shape the way I think. Before becoming an artist, I spent over a decade working in architectural practice, an experience that informs my interest in space, systems, perspective and the relationship between people and the environments they inhabit.
Alongside The Constant State, I develop projects that apply the same approach to real places and communities. These include speculative civic projects such as PRTV, collaborative cultural programmes, exhibition curation, publishing and digital platforms. Although varied in form, they are united by a shared interest in imagination as a tool for understanding place, memory and identity.
My long-term ambition is The Observatory: a permanent home for The Constant State, bringing together exhibitions, making, publishing, participation and research within a single evolving public environment.
Current interests include speculative archaeology, worldbuilding, institutional design, connected knowledge, participatory practice and the relationship between physical and digital experience.
