My previous series examined the idea of the fragmented self and detailed my journey of
personal growth: from a narcissist who believed they were god, through to the death of my ego,
and eventually coming to terms with being, sadly, all too human.

My work primarily focuses on identity and takes influence from — and makes reference to —
a variety of sources such as philosophy, music, and classic works of speculative fiction.
Over the last few years due to limited time and space, I have mostly been practising
portraiture and developing my technical skills, but I wish to return to larger more conceptually
based work. I am currently in the research stages of what I want that work to be.
