The Tarmac Residency

A series of abstract artworks based on construction sites and the scaffolding that surrounds them. Scaffolds can look tenuous and fragile, and yet, interlocked, they can form the foundation for great structures, in the physical world or in our minds.

The Scaffold

Expressive urban landscapes that explore the iconic structure of the water tower as a symbol of resilience and purpose in a modern world in which "all that is solid melts into air."

Water Towers

"The Floating World" is a series of contemporary limited edition prints that brings together the aesthetic of 18th century woodcuts and the unconventional beauty of the modern maritime industry. I compose the finished work from multiple photographic captures of the architecture, textures, weather and other elements of a particular place, blending them to invoke the dynamic process of decay and renewal.
