Bio
My current work crosses art forms with journeys of transformation, exploring issues of identity, dissolution and change while engaging the viewer on several levels. These ideas developed most recently during an Artist’s Residency awarded by the Eutopia Foundation in Kavala, Greece. The works are underpinned by the narrative of a mystery thriller written with the support of Arts Council England, 'The Disappearance of Makepeace - A Tale of Two Lives’, an artist’s book tracing the relationship of Eustace and Makepeace, from their first childhood meeting to their final encounter.
