I am an artist based in Bedford in the South East of England. My output includes some of the following activities:

Enacting privately observed performances - later retold, making very short films, finding interesting objects and putting them in strange scenarios, renaming objects and suggesting new identities for them, the occasional bit of painting and drawing, Thinking, sculpting familiar looking objects out of unexpected materials, Daydreaming, playing around with stuff, intervening into public spaces with exaggerated versions of human acts, making up stories, thinking up titles for things i've done, cooking for people who want to see art or eat something for free or see social gatherings as Art, writing about what I do in different ways depending on who’s listening or how bored I am of my own voice.

Much of my work deals with varying notions of human ambition, utopianism and the belief in progress. I often employ a DIY process in my work in an attempt to retrace what it is that impels us towards being creative or ambitious. Like many things 'folk' or anecdotal I attempt to use a colloquial tongue to tell tales of bigger truths and grander ideas. Alongside this is an aesthetic and dramatic sensibility that empathises with endeavours of human idealism. Ultimately the work is underlined with a sense of absurdity and fallibility, whilst still recognising the beauty in trying.
