I often collaborate with Lorcan McGarry-Hunt - his indie dev work can be seen here.
I also collaborate with Will Dalton on our project Artworld Deadstock.

Statement 2026
The world we see is already interpreted - by software, sensors, and systems as much as by human eyes. My work explores the intersection of human and machine perception, where analogue materials and digital processes coexist. I am interested in how computational systems reconstruct and translate reality, and how these interpretations overlap, collide, or coexist with our own.
Much of my work investigates the unexpected outcomes that emerge when human intention meets software, sensors, and algorithms. Surfaces, space, and light are never fully under my control; they are shaped by systems operating according to their own logic. These interventions are not errors - they are records of another way of seeing.
Painting remains central because it slows these processes, asserting the presence of the human hand alongside synthetic interpretation. Installations, generative objects, and digital reconstructions extend this exploration, creating entities and spaces that occupy both human and non-human experience.
The work is not designed to reassure or to warn. It reflects a world in which perception, memory, and presence are distributed across humans and systems, and where we are no longer the sole authors of what we see, understand, or inhabit.
