I'm an artist from London, and a graduate of MA Fine Art (Digital) at University of the Arts, and from BA (Hons) Interactive Arts at Manchester Metropolitan University. I primarily specialise in video, installation and site specific pieces flirting with different themes - all work is produced with intention of unssaleability. Any artefacts that are produced as part of an exhibition are usually destroyed to ensure they cannot be sold.

I am currently studying for a PG Cert in Academic Practice, to compliment my PT role as a Specialist Technician in Digital Media at Camberwell College of Arts
