2020-2023

Between 2020 and 2023 my creative focus was on contemporary, queer, social realism. Many of my paintings from this period explore the relationship between people and community spaces by using relating to kitchen sink realism. In 2021 I started my practice based PhD research into socio-spatial relationships, using my social realist interest as a springboard into considering materiality and geography within 21st figurative paintings that consider British identity, class, and queerness.
