In utilising drawing, research and documentation as investigative processes, the conceptualisation of ideas and the making of images and objects tie together to question how something can be presented or represented. Whether it be site specific or entirely object based, the final result comes from working relationships between the page, the photograph and the space in which something is experienced and installed. 

Largely process based the work is self-generative and its own content produces repercussions of events. Such events bring in a multitude of materials, whipping up all and everything from extension leads and electrical tape to graphite and square-shaped envelopes. A current concern is how these elements altogether present themselves in schemes of language and understanding: how can something be described and how can such descriptions negotiate themselves in terms of artistic representation.

As an artist living in Glasgow I also work freelance as an online editor for a-n The Artists Information Company. After graduating from Leeds University two years ago I have exhibited in Leeds and Liverpool as well as contributing to shows in China and Russia. To date such exhibitions have been in various spaces, from documented performances in church spires and theatre studios to presenting work in galleries, cafes and office boardrooms. 

Through working in galleries, research libraries and archives I have developed an interest in how certain elements take hold of a singular artistic practice: thus my work is more inquiring of the spaces and environments where artworks and their documentation are presented and stored. Building on such interests I have also co-produced various curatorial projects representing artists in alternative settings, such as creative industry offices and Studio Project spaces.
