Artist statement

I'm interested in a world over amplified and speeding up, the telescoping of industrialised environment, consumerism, technology, celebration, waste and war through time.

My current work can also be seen as a combination of past experience gained producing large scale graphic works with Greenpeace UK and painting nightclub interiors. I combine this with my interest in the history and function of architecture, the decorative arts and mapping.
