Studio Stack
This piece was shown at “A Show About The Show” at Bankley Gallery, curated by Scaffold Gallery.
My Five Year Old Could Have Done That
I wanted to respond to my year as the Woon fellow, and develop the work I showed at NewBridge, to reveal a more concise and direct view of my investigations in the studio.
In Cahoots
“In Cahoots” was a residency I collaboratively ran to prompt collaboration between recent graduates in the North East.
It May Not Be Perfect But It’s Mine
This was a solo show at NewBridge Project during my Woon fellowship, where I decided to bring all the tests, objects and materials from my studio to the space to see how the work could start to perform in a gallery setting.
Modernist Coinwash

Study Scores
I selected a short excerpt from “Improvisation C Major Blues” to focus on to begin to use the objects to compose, using their physical properties to make decisions, rather than just to notate.
Improvisation in C Major Blues
I made a recording of a drummer, and myself playing saxophone, improvising together. We were both slightly “out of practice” and I was interested in the way we began to fall in and out of time with each other whilst both trying to follow the other’s lead, and the parts of a melody that arose from this.
Buckling Bridge
I decided to allocate some time and space for myself to explore the blocks, isolated from the other objects in my studio.
Stumble
I wanted to see what potential functions the blocks had, and what activities or actions could be performed with them. I decided to construct a setting for improvised play with the blocks that I could film and observe.
