Born in a boring East Midlands town, I attended a variety of violent and educationally pathetic schools until being cryogenically frozen from the ages of 13-24. Since then, I continue to thaw.

My work concerns "truth", manipulation, and that old favorite, "death". It concerns the need to believe in the questionable, the trust we place in museums and the media; authenticity, replication and the benefits of fiction.
