Artist Statement

I am a multidisciplinary artist examining our cultural history and my personal life through musical memorabilia and cultural ephemera. By using free association to create figurative collage, I add narrative to gathered imagery, and build digital artworks. Challenging the polished aesthetics of a highly curated digital art world, I invite computer-savvy audiences to embrace what it is to be human. Each artwork beginning as a 2D static image that could evolve as an object in three dimensional space, and become embellished with animation, touches of code or even generative inputs. 

My art is often released as short-form videos minted to the Ethereum blockchain, but also existing as fine art prints or 3D printed objects. Mostly shown on a digital frame but also projected, my work has been displayed in small galleries around the world, and planetariums across Germany. 

Figurative in nature, my working method takes inspiration from British Pop Art pioneer Richard Hamilton, in particular the collage “Just What Is It That Makes Today’s Homes So Different, So Appealing?” I also reference a myriad of collage pioneers, including lesser known artists responsible for the DIY punk fanzines from the 1970s

Made on computer, and using free association, I expressively champion the human psyche via digital processes. Avoiding interruption to the flow of unconscious thought, my collages contain rough cut-out pieces, and inhabit the untidy end of the digital world. And, by referencing the source material of each collage, I create artworks with rich narratives and subtext

Commissioned artworks undergoes a similar process but are often more refined. Influential musicians, The Mars Volta and Omar Rodríguez-López, celebrate my art across their recent box sets, marking a substantial artistic success for my practice. Commercial success includes a sold-out debut crypto art collection, ‘77 Portraits Of The Queen made out of UK punk memorabilia. And, my self-portrait is most recently represented in the permanent collection of the academic institution Kunst Historisches Museum Wien in Austria
