Joining art agency Artiq

I’m very happy to have joined Artiq - a commercial art agency with a lovely team of people who really care about art and treating artists fairly.

A selection of my images are available for purchase or for rental through the agency.

I’ve also been selected to be part of their peer-mentorship programme so I’m excited to take part, learn from others, share my knowledge and see where it all leads!

Currently playing with paper

Lately I have been playing around with cutting up my zines & test prints and folding them into new shapes, exploring different book-making techniques. Not sure where it's going but it's slightly addictive & I'm enjoying it, so if you are interested to see how these open up & transform into different sculptural forms check out my reels on Instagram & stay tuned for more.

MEGA//MONO//LITH ii in C4 Journal

Very happy that C4 Journal took the time to review the updated version of MEGA//MONO//LITH ii on their Instagram account - thanks again to Eugénie Shinkle for the feedback on my work:

“this is a refined version and it is spectacular 😍 all the weird primordial energy of the earlier version but more control over the colour, which spins a cyan/orange palette into a set of images that collapse the magma-soaked beginnings of the earth into its polymerised Anthropocene ending.”

Shrine Zine Redux for Death Ray Distro

What do you do with all the misprints, test prints & rejects when making a zine? Make another zine of course!

I hate to throw prints away so I've made a few mini zines from my Madre Celestial tests & rejects. Roughly stapled and bound in neon gaffer tape. Available exclusively from @deathraydistro at the link below.

New Zine: MEGA//MONO//LITH

Tripped up stones and lithic wonders.

A very rough and ready zine thrown together in a day on the work printer - the photos get pretty abstract when the toner ran low. Inspired by my friend who loved the magic in stones, and who knew the best tools are the ones you have to hand.
