What a few weeks it's been in the studio! Ive just finished three pieces for my residency collection - "In the Endless," "Rifts," and "Between Forms." Each one pushed me in different directions, from seascapes to psychological landscapes to mythological narratives.
The collection launch event was incredible , there's nothing quite like watching people connect with your work in person and having those deeper conversations about art, identity, and transformation. The energy in the room was electric!!
It was a highlight meeting Natanya Barrett and diving deep into her practice. Her insights on Rorschach imagery, hybrid forms, and creating empowering mythologies gave me a lot to think about. This is one the things i enjoyed the most about this collaborative residency, I'm just about making work in isolation, it's about dialogue and community.

My latest painting Tangled up in Blue #2 is inspired by Klein Blue collection, drawing upon the colour’s rich history; from precious lapis lazuli more valuable than gold in Renaissance times to Yves Klein's revolutionary International Klein Blue that liberated this ancient pigment into modernity. A figure enveloped in cascading blue fabric where the ultramarine becomes both architecture and atmosphere. The blue creates a cocoon that could be protective or constraining, a threshold between visibility and concealment. The golden background serves as both architectural space and the warm light that has traditionally set blue's cool depths into relief throughout art history.

**Studio highlights from the past few weeks! ✨**

What an incredible time it's been at the Maker's studio visited the studio, and it was inspiring hearing her talk about her biomorphic art and the science behind her biomorphic forms. She even taught me how to work with polycaprolactone, and she created some new pieces in the studio!

Getting hands-on with sculpting was such a different experience from painting - working in 3d with such a unique material was an interesting change of pace.

I also had to try the new Summer of Sculpture cocktail that the hotel created specially for the residency - the perfect studio companion! 🍹

I've started a new painting strongly inspired by Claire's use of Klein ultramarine blue. There's something about that particular blue that just captivates me, and I'm exploring how it works within my own visual language.

Being surrounded by the South Bank's urban landscape, every day continues to inspire and inform my work.

I am grateful for these creative exchanges and the energy they bring to the studio!
