| I am interested in the construction of things, film, literature, painting… For example; during the filming of Rosemary’s Baby Mia Farrow had a nervous breakdown. She then turned up on set one day with her hair cut short and the directors had to somehow incorporate this into the film only adding to its surprising narrative. Recent paintings are made to order from an imaginary patron, Mr Karts. Graduated from Royal Academy Schools 2004, Artist in Residence at Loughborough University 2004/05.
