This collage combines drawing, printed marks and fragments of found imagery. The repeating hand drawings move across the surface like gestures, creating a sense of movement and connection.
The small red figure stands among these hands, almost as if being held or supported by them. I like how the different elements — the drawn lines, textured surfaces and photographic fragments — create a layered narrative that remains open to interpretation.
Collage allows me to bring together unrelated images and marks, letting unexpected relationships emerge.
• Poly-cotton blend canvas with a matte/satin finish. Scratch, crack, and warp resistant.
• Vibrant, long-lasting colours with water-based HP Latex inks and UV protection.
• Solid wooden frame from renewable sources, 4 cm deep.
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.
