A neon dreamscape featuring an egg and a piece of cake in the distance.

'To Swim' explores the physical feeling of swimming. Being totally immersed in the physical world is an abstract occurance in modern life, where we exist halfway between screens and each other. I wanted to emulate this sensation warping the perspective so that the viewer is placed in the pool, pushing towards a distant, endless finish line. Being immersed in water gives a weightless sensation, which is relaxing as one is relieved of the weight of ones body. We look outward and forward to mirage at the end of the pool, focussing on the present moment to keep moving.

A table football figure looks out at the shining opposition, mid spin.

A night landscape in Madrid, in mostly cobalt and green hues. A woman stands outside a corner shop with an umbrella, whilst teenagers smooch on a bench in the foreground darkness.

A discarded poo bag that has been trodden on, and trodden in! But no worries, its just cake.

Painting taken from the victoria sponge cake used in the performance “Eat Up” by Mallika Joy in 2022, exploring the wealth discourses surrounding the Royal Family whilst many UK families relied on food banks that year.

A re-imagination of Donald Trump as a pumpkin. Part of a series where food items steal the likeness of public figures. Taken from the popular 'Trumpkin' trend, the work celebrates those making statements from their homes, and how they decay.
