About


I am a visual artist based in the North East of England. I use film, found objects, installation and text in attempts to engage with the discourses of literature and literary criticism.

A lot of my work is driven by an interest in taxonomies and systems of classification. Applying classification systems to existing bodies of work can generate both illuminations and absurdities - for me this includes strategies associated with conceptual art and conceptual writing such as listing, procedure and chance.

I am interested in what this approach may offer to the critical debate surrounding particular aspects of particular authors’ work.
