Stemming from a foundation in print and illustration, my practice interweaves narrative
through multiple mediums. Playing with the industrial heritage of printmaking and
combining the handmade with contemporary technology. I have a particular interest in
the tools which printmakers use, adapt and appropriate, creating my own presses and
exposure units using their inherent limitations I investigate narrative, characters and
untold stories, seeking out the overlooked experiences. I am inspired by the potential of
public art and community participation, seeking settings outside traditional gallery.

Artist Residency
Knowle West Media Centre, Bristol
For seven months I became resident within Knowle, a
deprived area of Bristol. During this time I worked with
residents, creating large Cyanotype prints out of objects
from their homes. I built an exposure unit on wheels
which I took to residents and created work out on the
street as a form of creative engagement.
The project continued when I was commissioned to
collaborate further with the community in creating work
for the interior of a micro-home. This was the first of its
kind, a working prototype into affordable housing. The
project became about my integration into an isolated
yet surprising community

BRISTOL SET IN PRINT
2016
Spanning two years ‘Bristol Set in Print’ documented
the impact of letterpress print on the city of Bristol
and explored its significance to the contemporary
letterpress community.
Uniting a new generation of printers, artists and designers with the ex-industry type-setters and
compositors, cultivated a unique learning environment. It not only passed on the skills of these men but
gave participants an immersive experience of a traditional print house.
Collaboratively the participants designed and printed a large map of the city, integrating the imagery of a
typesetter’s case with the names, dates and key facts from twenty-six Bristol print-firms.

puppet and it hangs on the wire. Controlled by a remote control and Arduino it cycles backwards and
forwards at your command.
Part of a whole circus of interactive puppets, from the world of Herman Herr.
