about / cv
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I am an artist and illustrator based in Leeds, UK. I work primarily with drawing,
ceramics, textiles and publication design. I am interested in exploring how each
element of my practice can enter a dialogue with, and inform, the other.
Recently, my work has been concerned with themes of taste; preciousness;
personal and cultural value; curation; and the thresholds in-between these paradigms.
As a result of examining my own questionable taste, I wonder how the images I create
can exist somewhere between ugliness and beauty.
