Gettin' Hot in Here Print

“I like to explore the different aspects of British identities and subcultures through the use of my own documentary photography. My work takes the shape of whatever medium I see fit, and so far this has been tufted tapestry, painting, film and animation, illustration and always photography, both digital and analogue. My paintings are expressive and slightly abstract, whilst the subject matter is often from photographs that are calculated and weighted with thoughtful composition. After graduating from Central Saint Martins in 4D Fine Art (lens and time-based media) in 2021, I’ve learned that I’m often concerned with sensitive content revolving around sociopolitical constructs such as race, gender and justice, as well as describing violence through cartoon or caricature imagery and, in some cases, popular culture. In my current practice at the Slade school of Fine Art UCL, I’m exploring definitions of Black British identity incorporating wool and tufting as well as painting.”
