His work often draws upon the interrelation of personal and shared memories and experience and frequently presents a questioning of our innate connection to nature, the rural English landscape and the contemporary urban landscape of London. Born in England, He lives and works in London.

A full moon in winter. A questioning of truth behind the folklore surrounding a full moons presence on personal histories, thoughts and behaviours. In Our Sleep takes effected dreams and subconscious to reflect upon the pasts place in our present and its relation to location. Notions of romanticism are accentuated when present within the English landscape, ruminating upon our innate binding to nature and the natural world.
