Born in Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk. I am a self taught photographer, filmmaker and artist working with digital moving image and sound. My main body of work lies in the filmic representation of marginalised characters, highlighting themes of alienation and attempting to define how we experience a particular environment.
Between 2013-2020 these works have been presented regionally and internationally at the BFI London, London Short, Hong Kong, Cambridge, Lisbon and Leeds International Film Festivals.
Alongside my practice I facilitate nights of experimental music under the CINECIDE moniker and founded Norwich Psych Fest, a music festival held annually at the Norwich Arts Centre. I also co-founded the periodical publication EAVA Zine, which aims to uplift creatives and folklore in East Anglia, having been supported by the East Anglian Art Fund for our first issue.
