Introducing four artists showcasing work in our collaborative exhibition @leabridgegallery

W 24 x H 32 cm

Shapes built up through addition and subtraction using pencils and stencils - layer after layer. Trying to be intuitive and leaving decisions until the end. The process does most of the work. ☻ ⏐⎸⎹││⎪ ⚡︎

☼ Secret 7” 2026 art auction has closed, and I can finally reveal my artwork.

I’m delighted to say that, based on final price, it placed in the top 8% of the 700 sleeves that made up the exhibition. All proceeds going to support children affected by conflict.

The piece is varnished with a masked section that only resolves into a symbol when the light hits it at the right angle. The symbol is a reference to the song I chose to respond to, which I believe is about a love triangle, but you’d have to confirm that with @skin_skunkanansie ☻

Thank you again to @secret7s and @warchilduk for including me, and to the generous mystery bidder whose wall this will soon live on ✌︎☺︎

☼ Big news — I'm in!! My sleeve has been chosen for @secret7s 2026, marking the project's 10th edition ✌︎☺︎.

For anyone who hasn't come across it: @warchilduk 's Secret 7” takes seven tracks and presses each one onto 100 vinyl records, giving 700 artists (myself included) a blank sleeve to make entirely their own. Nobody knows whose design is whose, or which track sits inside, until a sleeve is sold at auction.

Massive thanks to everyone at @secret7s for picking my piece out of what must have been an enormous stack of submissions — properly bowled over to be part of it again this year.

If you'd like to see the sleeves in person or bid on one:
📅 Visit: 19 – 30 August 2026 @180.studios
🔨 Bid online: 18 August – 2 September 2026
📍 180 Studios, The Strand, London
🎟 Entry's free — full details at secret-7.co.uk

Really pleased to have work included in EPIGEAL - the final show at @unit2stleonards

Unit 2 has been a real burst of creative energy for St Leonards over the past year.

Always intended as a one-year popup, so this was always coming, but that doesn't make it any less of a loss for the town. ☻

Swipe for some sneak peeks of my included work.

📍 8-10 London Road, St Leonards
🕰 Opening night Friday 24 April, 6.30pm til late
🕰 Saturday & Sunday 11am--5pm

Come down if you can.

Shapes built up through using pencils over different stencils - layer by layer, whilst trying not to have a plan. Most of it arrives before any decisions are made △⏢○⌖

Shapes built up through rubbing over stencils - layer by layer, mostly without a plan. The shapes decide where they land ‣⏢‣⏥‣⏢‣
