Everything I am (2020)
An older image revisited, hand printed and framed. The image depicts my father in the landscape behind my parents home in the Essex countryside in the middle of winter. Made on a particularly murky morning the pylon that dominates that hilltop is shrouded in fog and looms heavy above the figure.
It goes without saying that my father and the landscape I spent almost 20 years growing up in only influence and make up part of my character. However I find a lot of myself in this image as well as a level of calm, a sense of home.
Framed with the bleed marks from the print process, this image locks in elements of its own conception including the development process which was done at home in lockdown. The inaccuracy of this process is what gives the image a tonal variance in the sky, a quality I’ve come to love and appreciate.
Much like the landscape depicted, the sky in this image changes as light lands on it throughout the day, yet always the same mood prevails.
Hanging in my London bedroom, I feel fortunate to have this window to my home.
With thanks to all involved.

Recently I had the pleasure of meeting three emerging talents to speak with them about their experience of studying at University during the pandemic. As well as Covid, we spoke about their practice and the exciting projects they’re currently engaged with. The piece also includes a passage about my own experience as well as a selection of work from these artists.
I’m really grateful to Hannah for the opportunity as well as, Halfdan, Eleanor and Carlos for sharing their work and experience with me.
