• A love of paradox and a fascination with the miniature are the driving forces behind my work. Through the subversion of established visual codes and painstaking attention to the smallest details I attempt to craft visual contradictions, pieces that exist at the unstable boundaries where supposed opposites collide - a margin where the ugly may be beautiful and what seduces can repel, where the precious and the worthless are interchangeable and the mundane may be extraordinary. Look closer because nothing is what it seems.
