“Using unusual and less typical techniques I endeavour to give new life to objects and images - uniting them with new contexts. I belive longevity to be the most logical form of sustainability. When combined with upcycyling, misuse and reimagining obsolete or everyday objects we can create new layers of interest and appreciation of the everyday.”
I am an Artist and Designer of furniture, clothing and accessories. Im interested in blurring the lines between Art and Design. Design is often seen as Arts little brother. I aim to challenge that.
My Artwork is influenced by street art and the dynamic energy of urban environments. Object design often has a utilitarian theme often inspired by everyday objects like tools and sports equipment and offering a reimagining by fusing them with fine art.
