The surface material in this artwork is mortar. A material that I work with occasionally when helping my dad on the building site. As an artist, however, I have tested the physical property of this material by putting it through many experimental processes, which can now provide a new sense of appreciation.
I have also worked with used mortar, the remnants of mortar, which can be found on the building site. Instead of it going into the skip and then taken to landfill I have built it back up as the main structural ground for this artwork. It is also my way of challenging any wasteful behaviour and supporting the environment.

I am a contemporary artist who works in Hampshire and London. As an artist, my main concern is challenging people to see the possibilities in beauty through pre-used building materials where others see functionality. As well as being a practising artist, I support and assist my dad in the building trade. An appealing aspect of working on the building site is the use and range of building materials. I am constantly thinking about the potential of a building material and how I might incorporate it into an artwork. When I am in my studio, my actions are based on a combination of rules and spontaneity, inspiring a shift in myself and the work I carry out. One minute, I am in the mode of a builder where I must follow meticulous and calculated actions. The next minute, I am free-flowing, integrating random actions to the materials that I am working with. Each building material, art supply and method used within my working process has the ability to morph and reform into a new component, creating an ever-changing event inspired by artist, action, chance and process. I received the JPES Partnership Art Prize at The London Group Open 2019 and was elected by The London Group Membership Committee to become a member in 2020.
