Each piece is drawn from vintage illustrations which provide a visual language to contrast society’s expectations of young people today with the imposing standards of the past. The work is mainly produced using printmaking techniques both old and new. Most recently, the motivation of the work has been around notions of protest, rights and freedom of speech under the collective banner of the “Protest Series”.
Collectors include Aimee Lou Wood, Sadie Frost, Laura Bailey, Theo Fennell, Dr. Alexander van Tulleken, Indira Varma, Amber Le Bon, Suranne Jones, Busy Phillips, Samantha Ronson, Martha Plimpton, Holly Tucker MBE and The Hon William Yerburgh.
Commissions and collaborators include Black & Beech, Mother – London, Aimee Lou Wood, Jealous Gallery, the Big Issue, Coco Fennell, House of Vans, Art on a Postcard, Promising Young Woman (film) and Hope for Podencos.
