I am an art department assistant based in London. I like giallo colour palettes, camp, visual excess and neo noir. My interest in production design began with seeing Derek Jarman’s set for Ken Russell’s The Devils and Giuseppe Bassan’s work with Dario Argento. Having assisted for a number of years, I now intend to move towards art directing on music videos and smaller scale productions.

My work as an artist has been shown internationally. In 2020 I had my first major solo exhibition at The South London Gallery, showing ‘The Near Room’ a film produced by Film and Video Umbrella and ACE funded. Previous work has been commissioned by Serpentine Galleries and the South London Gallery; screened at Temporary Gallery, Cologne, Spike Island, Bristol, Govett-Brewster Gallery, New Zealand, Catalyst Arts, AMINI festival, Belfast, VCD festival, Beijing and Innsbruck Biennale, Austria; and hosted on vdrome.org. My most recent 2020 exhibition at Kapp Kapp Gallery in Philadelphia, showed a new body of sculptural work.
