Informed by my love-hate relationship with British identity, my work aims to caricature the landscape of contemporary society. I draw upon familiar rituals, traditions and objects associated with British culture, which I isolate in their simplicity and present as iconography. The eccentricity of the human condition relies on a need for order and community as intrinsic aspects of our daily routines. I dissect the instructional prose of daily life, cultural events, and togetherness; influenced by identities inherited from the environments we live in and borrowed from culture consumed.
