:: ART PRACTICE M.O ::
Forever in pursuit of truth, freedom & play
(fuelled by coffee, sarcasm and creative rebellion)
. . .
:: IN A NUTSHELL ::

Flowers For Moody People's (.F.F.M.P.) heritage stems from abstract botanical photography, a signature style which captures emotion and motion in a single frame. Flash forward to the present day, the art practice has evolved, I now capture emotion and motion at 24fps via realtime filmmaking methodologies blended with a fine art sensibility, while embracing carefully selected virtual reality outlets based on inclusivity and accessibility.


. . .
:: SOME PROJECTS THAT EPITOMISE MY PRACTICE ::

//A Walk In The Park: An experimental moving image artwork which features a winged faceless woman, a posthuman fine dining establishment, and a piano playing heart. (VERVE Poetry Festival, Flatpack Festival, LCB Depot, Ostranenie Theatre)

//Hybrid Art Journal: (experimental art zine which lived across digital, physical and virtual realms for three months in 2022) I invited 10 artists, designers and thinkers to come together and co-create a hybrid, left-field living journal.

//UDOU: 3D Metallic sculptures question the illusion of freedom and control. (ArtBasel Miami)

//The Masses: Successfully incorporated elements of poetry, mass participation, audiovisual, physical installation, and virtual installation. (BJP Edition365 Award)

//AI&I: A virtual installation which chronicles my experience with artificial intelligence.
