An active practitioner since graduating, drawing has provided continuity in a practice that has spanned installation, small-scale multiples, film, set design and photography. I have exhibited in a range of contexts from film screenings in major London galleries, to museums, and regional galleries. Recent work has been in the form of large-scale installation and written research.
