MA work

When I was younger, I used to have drawing competitions with my friends at school. We would see who could draw the best fighter plane or battle scene. I like to draw from my imagination, which is my most powerful tool. It holds a combination of childhood memories, like scrumping apples with my brothers, and the classic adventure stories of Jules Verne and Jonathan Swift.

Adventure and memory both excite me, allowing me to invent any world or character I wish, but using memory as inspiration gives the narrative a sense of realism.
