About this site:

I have repackaged my website to be more representative of my work across all facets of my practice. As my old site was launched in the days when you had to pedal really fast to get your computer onto the internet many the images where small and through time it became a bit of an unwieldy archive. What I've tried to create here is something more considered, looking at some examples of my work in more depth.
