Cave studies, 2025, Pratt Institute, Brooklyn
Cave of half remebered dreams, shadow puppet film, 2025. Is the latest in my musings on the subject, tounge and cheek - the humerous approach to a situation I actually find deeply fascinating and moving was inspired by the work of Jeremy Deller and his bouncy castle stone henge. What if these ancient places that bear the earliest marks of humanity - made with beliefs and ideas totally alien to us now but which have led to how we all now percieve the world - were really the sites of jokes between friends or simple pranks? We have nothing to say otherwise. Below complementary cave musings. \/

Crow, 2025
Crow, shadow puppetry and filmaking, 2025. This film comes from my research into masks and their effects. As with a lot of my work in this period I’m using humour as a vessle for this exploration. My main interests here were how wearing a mask might change our behaviour around others and the fruitlesness of obsession. Something I sometimes relapse into feeling.
Wandering Studio, 2025, Brooklyn
Wandering Studio, reclaimed materials, wood, tape, coloured pencils on paper, film, 2025. An early new york project I made to understand the city better. The idea was if i could take my studio with me into the streets and be able to make during my input mode I might be able to record the true what I felt and saw. The actual effect was to narrow my vision to seeing only the details of my journeying - so overwhelming was the amount of happenings on the street of new york especially for my brain which was already trying to record what I saw. It was natural therefore to just focus on an interesting face or crack in the wall, draw that, and then reconstruct into people back at the studio. As seen below. \/
