I work primarily with stories and narratives and have become increasingly interested in how clothing can become a costume for a character to be recognised in and reacted to according to predetermined behavioral tropes within a scenario. Taking the psychology of fashion as an undercurrent, I feature people and objects in works multiple times, seeing them as recurring characters on different sets perhaps akin to a time traveling soap opera.
I like to produce work about ideas I hear or things I read, especially stories. If the stories have been falsely elaborated - then I like them even more. The idea of making a record of history or a third hand account perhaps wayward from the truth interests me - but not with all my works. Some of the works are a private joke.

Improbable Encounters
Memory, Hybridity, and Displacement 8 Mar - 20 May 2022Our first exhibition aims to create space for new and emerging artists living and working in Iran and the United Kingdom in what we hope will be the first step towards a generative dialogue and critical conversation between the artists in question, as well as the two wider artistic communities. For far too long engagements of this kind have found themselves overshadowed and obscured by high politics, impenetrable borders and media sensationalism.Read more
