Statement
I am an emerging artist living in Glasgow, my work has been about prophecy and signage and care since graduating the glasgow school of art this year in 2022. My degree show collection was focused on picturing a situation where health and safety law is called upon for guidance on the bigger questions of our time like war, climate crisis, generational differences, style and colonialism, but also on the matters of heartbreak and crying in public places. A unforgiving look at western culture and its lack of chemistry with the natural world, told through doctored and faked institutional signage.
