ARTIST STATEMENTThis image was cultivated as part of a larger series, in order to suggest a similarity between Smoking and Religion.
Especially drawn to the iconography of each, I enjoy the tension created by combining the two. Through this visual tension I hope to compare and contrast any resemblances. Such as; Cause of death, Advertising, Subscription and Lifestyle. |

The premise of this series is to prioritise the enjoyment of a meal, over the announcement of said meal.

FAMILY MATTERS

FIRST EDITION PRINTS FOR £1 PER FOLLOWStarting from 0 every Instagram follow increases the price of the artworks by £1
ARTIST STATEMENTOriginally intended as a statement against the idealised family album. The concept derived from the desire to do family portraiture without conforming with the ‘happy family’ aesthetic. The tights serve to distance, distort and discomfort familiar faces, replacing white shirts and smiles with stockings and a frown. The series has since evolved to also reflect on the ‘strangers’ in my family. The members which fall into a limbo between stranger and familiar. Whether its a third cousin twice removed, that weird uncle you met at a wedding once, or the members which live on in photographs.
