My
practice is fairly unique in that it is founded on my ability
to enter a project, organisation, scenario, or community
and immerse myself within it as an active participant or
member. From this viewpoint I can analyse the strengths
and weaknesses within and develop strategies to improve
or professionalism the situation. A classic example of this
was working with GPW a wrestling company, where, entering
as an artist and photographer, I also trained as a wrestler
whilst simultaneously creating professional promotional
material and raising the organisation’s profile nationally.
I am interested in and have worked on a number of projects
globally, including performance and art related pieces in
India, Finland, Tokyo, Cologne and Egypt. I enjoy blurring
the edges between the artworld and other areas, such as
taking a wrestling ring into an art gallery, or taking a
performance piece into a rumble. There has been a natural
progression for me from artist to curator, and I have curated
a large number of shows over the last ten years, nationally
and internationally. I have been commissioned to curate
for organisations such as the A Foundation, UCLan and The
Liverpool Biennial (Independents)
My personal work has explored themes of Icon and faded superhero,
manifesting in the creation of ‘Mothman’, a
six year, ongoing project exploring an almost self deprecating
character of my own creation. He has exhibited internationally
and synonymous for his character of 'MothMan'. A pseudo
wrestler evolved from research and development of popular
culture
