A small note about this shop.

Most of my work exists as jewellery, exhibitions, writing and curatorial projects. The prints you find here come from a different part of my practice: drawing, collage, collecting images and making marks. If you visit the Sketchbook section of this website, you'll see that these activities are not separate from my work but are often where ideas first begin.

For a long time, these drawings and experiments remained in sketchbooks, folders and studio drawers. Then I came across a printing company whose attention to quality matched my own values. Their fine art papers, canvas prints and beautifully crafted Italian handmade frames convinced me that these works could exist beyond the page without losing their character.

There is also a practical reason for this shop. Sales help support my artistic and curatorial practice, allowing me to continue making work, organising projects, writing, researching and collaborating with others.

So, in a way, this shop is both a small extension of my studio and a way of helping sustain everything else that happens within it.

Thank you for being here.

This work began with a simple photograph of a face. I started to interrupt the image with small gestures — strips of yellow tape crossing the eyes and a drawn hand appearing beside the head. These interventions partly hide the face, but they also create new ways of looking at it.
The collage plays with ideas of visibility and interruption: what we choose to show, what we hide, and how small marks can completely change the way we read an image. I like the tension between the softness of the photograph and the directness of the added elements.
The result feels a little playful, a little unsettling — like a moment where an image starts to question itself.
