When I look at the majority of my works, each is in many ways a continuation of the other, sharing a common root: Western imperialism. The Cold War. The conflicts and conditions in the Middle East and Africa which caused millions of people to travel to Europe. Palestine. All can be attributed to greater or lesser degrees to western influence and interference in the name of exporting freedom, democracy and civilisation across foreign borders.
I am an artist and photographer based in the UK. My practice is anchored by personal development, materiality and the curatorial process. Relationships and conflict between people and ideas are topics I engages with in my work.
