Art is activism. The map is a representation of a place, it traces a complex history of migration, trade, physical changes to land and territories. New generations create changes that continually shift our readings of the world map. It is since the 80’s that we had our first photo of the world, nicknamed ‘blue marble’, taken from outer space. Before that maps were all drawn by artists, sometimes combining ideas of the spiritual and the celestial with empirical cartography. The first drawings of the world come from Babylon, carved into a clay tablet, we have ‘Imago Mundi’, our first image of the world in the 9th Century BCE. This work is a large ceramic tile mural featuring 1035 tiles hand painted by children in the local community at Hogarth Centre and a charity called West London Welcome helping individuals who have suffered a breach of human rights or who may be fleeing their home. The wall is a permanent fixture, it’s a permanent mark that says ‘we are here’ – each with their unique characters, stories and experiences. Imago Mundi is a moment to celebrate the union between people, it is made by a collective, where they could change something, where they had control. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b00155df793926fb7fde7a1/1529095566653-3GN04RM5UBF2KMQRIYRB/045A8755.JPG Artwork https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b00155df793926fb7fde7a1/1526736964772-QF44W8AAXYY1LJV8J502/Bell_Gala_1.jpg Artwork - A Rare Display of Sapid Detritus - deep fried anchor, sugar, glass, glucose, aqua gel, borosilicate flask with Tartrazine powder, jeweller’s specs, steel, tank, 30 x 30 x 35cm 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b00155df793926fb7fde7a1/1694990686341-1B0HTEL1F4XNTFTS3I3X/waterfall.jpeg Artwork - waterfall.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b00155df793926fb7fde7a1/1694769869271-OCSP4TJXP3FMHPZ20VFF/image-asset.jpeg Artwork https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b00155df793926fb7fde7a1/1557066200418-BTNDNU30OPDOV9DNB3Y8/SirHenryTate.jpg Artwork - Sir Henry Tate  - Sugar , mild steel, 2019 Commissioned by BBC One Tribe in partnership with Tate and Lyle Sugar Factory Installation of sculpture under the effect of Triboluminescence, an optical phenomenon in which light is generated through the breaking of chemical bonds in a material when it is crushed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b00155df793926fb7fde7a1/1707044968626-K8YPNS9ZKW3FXQCF2BJ6/image-asset.jpeg Artwork - Foxfire Jacquard acrylic yarn, natural sheepskin 45 x 45cm 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b00155df793926fb7fde7a1/1638446316852-U5FVZL7DPNSKP5OHHSYM/image-asset.jpeg Artwork - Fry Up Deep fried painting, glass tank, sunflower oil, steel 140 x 105 x 70cm, Korean Cultural Institute, London UK & Berlin Germany 2021 In a cross over between the comfort of the kitchen and the dominion of the studio, it wasn’t a huge leap that any artwork should be submerged in hot oil. The alchemy of painting is surprisingly close to the recipes and materials of batter – egg yolk in tempera, linseed oil and pigments, the ground white powder of gesso, the heat and energy of hands. Both the space of the kitchen and the space of the studio operate as a lab of material transformation. The process of frying rekindles a simpler time, when deep fried food wasn’t scowled at for its high calories and dizzying fat. How we think, feel and act is a direct consequence of the society that nourishes us, and as the working-class rise, taste has a cavalier way of expressing itself; it is articulated status or lack thereof. The most prestigious and revered cultural objects are those which have been consecrated by powerful institutions and people. Expressions of taste are assertions of power or powerlessness. Social inequities are reinforced, perpetuated on the basis of cultural distinction, invisible market forces lead us towards a cultural condescending of taste. For the creation of an artwork, boundaries of taste must be relieved, for to really play with a city and its people you need to explore like an unbridled traveller, without the burden of history and veiled hierarchies. Hot oil, re-fried over and over, glows like gold. Great affliction precedes enlightenment. Highly caloric food bears the traces of less prosperous times, and can explain how the material conditions of existence have a significant effect on our choices. Deep frying is a ritualistic purging, originating from missionaries in Portugal who used it as a way to fulfil fasting and abstinence rules around the ember days, Quattuor Tempora. It travelled to the port of Nagasaki and detonated as a street food that later climbed from fish mongers to haute cuisine, fried food is part of a collective effervescence. Resplendent, silvered heat simmers, it is roasting, blazing in sterling brilliance the movement of foil drones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b00155df793926fb7fde7a1/1759226298926-3F6VIDX6754XZNFBGJCX/147A5027fcv.jpg Artwork Carved from Parian marble during a residency at the Cycladic Arts in Paros, Illuminira takes its name from “to illuminate”, a reflection on light, clarity, and transformation. Working in the same marble origins once used for Cycladic figures and the Venus de Milo, I wanted to explore how this ancient material could hold both weight and lightness, how stone can seem to breathe. The tear-drop form became a vessel of reflection, a pause between release and containment. In the changing light of the island, the marble shifts from opaque to translucent, revealing subtle movements within its surface. When placed in water, the pull of the sea creates ripples across the tear-drop form, allowing the marble to momentarily merge with the movement of the tide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b00155df793926fb7fde7a1/1747141744322-V3979Y34DL9XTZTL0INA/Poet_Sapeleframe.jpg Artwork -
