experimenting with printing with gelli plates. a lot of them didn't turn out the way i'd hoped, but i managed to cut up and stick down what i had to create some interesting imagery regardless. excited to explore this further in the future

found two sticks and tied them together with embroidery thread. there's a metaphor in there somewhere

printmaking :-)
independently from my studies, i am the co-founder of the small business chains4t, which specialises in making prints, patches, clothing and chain necklaces, often targeted towards people that are part of the lgbtqia+ community.
'wotsit' (2026), made from mixed media i had found, such as: a small sheet of foam, electrical tape, a syringe, fabric scraps, string, paper, and ink. this was made purely for the thrill of it
'the adventures of FUCKHEAD', 2025, mixed media cardboard sculpture on the world
sculpture inspired by huma bhabha's 'ghost of humankindness' (2011). i wanted to use materials and media that were accessible, so i made use of the cardboard, found objects and rubbish that were around me at the time, such as plastic, toilet roll, tape, string, foil, paper, acrylic paint and fabric. this resulted in a piece that was not only environmentally and economically sound, but also more personal to myself. i then took her around the campus and local area in manchester, to see how the public would interact with it, as well as to later make a video that combined my 2d and 2d artistic exploration into a 4d video inspired by the contemporary art movement.

song and video i made circa 2021, using programs garageband and openshot to create a sort of audiovisual landscape

edited version of "garbage"
garbage
video i edited to be projected onto my installation "THE WORLD IS GOING TO END", designed to make the viewer feel uncomfortable and overwhelmed - as if they were in a post-apocalyptic world where pollution and global warming had taken over. i used clips of landfill i had found online and videos i had taken myself, as well as a mix i made a few years ago, distorted to add to the uncomfortable impact overall on the viewer.
"THE WORLD IS GOING TO END"
installation designed to overwhelm the viewer, made from sculptures of made out of recycled or found materials, rubbish, mixed media paintings, bubble wrap, stuffed tights, textiles and videos i had made projected onto the space. the idea was to make the viewer feel as if they were stepping into a post-apocalyptic world, where pollution had taken over. a giant hand reaches up from the rubbish, uncomfortable imagery and noise makes for an uncomfortable experience - a prediction of what the world could be if we don't do something to stop it
