Painter, collector of spaces.

My practice is to document places, to notice things, to sit in spaces for long enough for them to reveal something that is mostly overlooked. The act of being as important as the act of looking in the process. For a long time I would follow stories of which I knew very little, looking for the clues and signs that could lead me to my own form of understanding, and at the same time I would be collecting these skate spaces- something I knew much more about. Although as with so many things, we tend to overlook that which is right under our noses, seduced instead by the mystery of peering into cultures that are not our own. It was only upon completing a particularly tiring project that I paused to figure out what to quest after next that I realised I had been collecting a huge body of work over the years already-

My current project Concrete Playgrounds is focused on diy or unusual skate spots around the world and the stories bound up in them. Notoriously transient spaces, my collection offers a unique snapshot and combined, a broader record and understanding.
