Artful Delights

I’m a UK-based multidisciplinary artist working in analogue collage and mixed media. Every piece is cut, layered and assembled by hand, from vintage printed matter and the parts of obsolete machines.

Art Journey

My practice investigates digital culture through analogue means. I work with hand-cut collage and mixed media as a way to peel myself away from the multitude of screens I am staring into every day.

Vintage magazines, printed ephemera and fragments of obsolete electronic technology — circuit boards, memory components — were designed to be fast, efficient and replaceable. In my hands they become slow, deliberate treasures.

Devices that once symbolised innovation quickly become waste, yet they keep a strange visual richness: gold contacts, geometric circuitry, manufactured beauty. I treat them as cultural relics rather than discarded objects.

Every piece is constructed entirely by hand, without digital shortcuts. No two works are alike.
