Based in: London
Lives and works in London, UK, where he teaches Printmaking at Camberwell College of Art at the University of the Arts London and practices as a Fine Artist. Having achieved a 1st class degree in Fine Art (Printmaking) from the Cambridge School of Art, he completed his Masters Degree at Central St. Martin’s School of Art and Design in London in 2008. He is a contributing member of “Saturation Point Projects”, an editorial & curatorial collective of reductive, geometric and systems based artists where he continues an on-going series of published artist interviews.
His work is primarily grounded in a systems based drawing practice which explores how a very simple set of initial rules can generate highly complex structures & compositions. Often he uses the iteration of a single line as a starting point but the final outcome is always based on certain mathematical principles that underpin each piece.
