STATEMENT

I admire comics, fairy tales and religion for their ability to make digestible awkward truths, my work as an animator and a poet has evolved into a form of visual collage. All is an attempt to connect with the unexplained.

Clockwork versus digital, sacred versus profane, by gluing it all together and mixing it up in collage, I try to unravel the enormous amount of stuff that is coming at me and generating emotion all the time.

Giants live alongside little people in a muddle of a place which crosses over the thresholds of time.

A prime minister will always be swayed by the fairies, and heroes will meet their final reckoning.
