About The Artwork

A modern Vanitas about the fleeting nature of life and our electrical goods. It's occurred to me that we think we dominate nature but we are, in fact, powerless against it. My computer flowers are broken and cannot renew but the organic flowers will reappear year after year. If we retreat then animals and plants recolonise our civilised spaces. We have set ourselves up as the overlord of nature but an invisible string of proteins can lock us in our homes and wreak havoc with our flimsy society. We make beautiful things for the wrong reasons and in the wrong ways. We invent gods to explain our existence, it's all topsy-turvy. Everything is in the wrong place in the wrong way. No natural lighting in this and the computer stuff all stopped working so I made the bits into flowers. Like all my work it contains much detail and needs to be viewed large and in real life (Magnifying glass provided).

Is an award-winning filmmaker, artist and writer. He has created ground-breaking work across television and art platforms providing rare insight into the disabled experience. Motivated by the continual exclusion and misrepresentation of marginalised people in society, his work aims to shift dominant perspectives, seeking to amplify liminal voices above all the chatter and discourse. Through documentary and personal art practice, he attempts to convey the humanity, value, and self-determination of the disabled community on its own terms, rather than as burdens, objects of pity or inspiration porn. He is an autodidact leaving school at 16 with no qualifications and has had no training in photography, art or filmmaking. He considers himself an outsider artist and puts his adeptness in art practice down to his autistic nature. How he managed to gain a 'Practice as research' PhD from the University of Kent for a study into the aesthetics of disability with no higher education at all, is a mystery he's unwilling to solve. He lives by the sea and does not have a cat.
