My work examines the urban crowd and the movements of pedestrians within it, carving their trajectories through the city spaces. It deals with the spatial and temporal rhythms of the crowd and how the chaotic rush and fragmentation of sensations in the height of the bustle contrast with the slowness of ambling groups and individuals. It also attempts to describe the varying paces and moods of individuals as distinct entities, at times juxtaposed against and at times dissolved by those of the multitude.

I use photographs and drawings made on location to explore the repetitive and distinctive elements of the urban environment and translate these accordingly into the work.

None of the work on this site is available, but if you would like to get an idea of prices then please contact me.
