I am aware that my life is yet to be lived. That answers to my art I dream too hard to be answered are not going to be there yet. So I spend a lot if my time decoding myself and people. People in politics, people close to me and the public…overtaken with both care and questions. My work takes the form of large-scale kinetic sculptures made from a combination of wood and fabric. Between the lulls of creating works I illustrate and write, investigating the human condition as well as my own. There is a softness on the surface, something playful and gentle, but underneath runs a quieter motif of political unease and a discomfort in being.

Curtains yanked .

A voyeur of a disaster.

Watching cowards rule the world.

We’ve been milked.
