My practice centers on portraiture as a space of projection, memory and transformation. I explore the distance between a person and their image, and how identity is shaped by memory, desire, cultural mythology and invention.
My work draws on two interconnected worlds: the mythology of punk and post-punk, and a fictionalized world of Borstal boys rooted in my formative boarding-school years. Using hundreds of sequins as discrete points of color, light and reflection, I create a form of neo-pointillism in which faces emerge and dissolve with the viewer’s movement. The sequin is both material and metaphor: fragments accumulate into an image, echoing the fragmentary nature of memory.

Across my Muse and Borstal Boys Fable series, I explore the space between archive and invention, recognition and projection, presence and absence.
