Art Portfolio

I make pictures about the parts of cities that were not designed to be looked at — service doors, ventilation, the backs of signs. I work in ink and screenprint, usually at small scale, usually in two or three colours. The constraint is deliberate. Limited colour forces decisions about what a picture is actually about, and I have never made a good drawing without first cutting something out of it.

Everything starts as a photograph taken quickly on a phone, usually while walking somewhere else. I do not go looking for subjects; I have found that looking for them produces obvious pictures. The drawing happens later, from the photograph, with most of the detail removed. What survives that removal is the piece.

Prints from all series are available directly. Commissions are open for editorial and publishing work, with a typical turnaround of three to four weeks. Get in touch: your@email.com Instagram: @yourhandle Studio: Your City
