Work

A run of posters made through 2025 for events and nights DJ’d along the way. Repetition, colour and pattern carrying the atmosphere of a night beyond the room it happened in.

Identity, invite, banner and website for our wedding, all built on one mark.

A brand identity for the Wine & Wallop bars in Didsbury, Prestwich and Knutsford.

The stone house in the hills we took on, and the ongoing project of making and building there.

Commissioned by One Manchester to build something mobile that could work as both a talking point and a practical meeting space. Built with a local woodworker from plywood laminated with foam, pedal-powered and towed by an electric trike.

A disused Victorian station in Levenshulme, first seen in 2017, reopened in 2022 as a cycle cafe and social hub after years of resident-led development. A full visual identity and a cultural programme built around DJs, bands and informal listening.

A social advertising board at Station South in Levenshulme. Selling advertising space on the front paid for artists to show work and community groups to advertise on the back, which carried a geometric artwork facing the street. Taken down in 2022.

The studio’s own site: a self-initiated portfolio and online shop built in 2022, using the repeating-pattern artwork as a full visual identity that brings sound, visual work and the shop together in one place.

Shaped, patterned pieces made at home and hung through the Exhibition bar in Manchester.

Printed directly onto £20 banknotes at the tail end of lockdown, using currency as material and symbol. One side references collective care during the pandemic, the reverse a Saint Sebastian after Gerrit van Honthorst, tied to protection and survival.

A site-specific piece for the launch of Haunt in central Manchester, combining patterned fabric, laser-cut forms and mirrored acrylic into a layered object built to respond to the bar’s interior and lighting.

A Manchester screen print studio at Islington Mill in Salford, run with Sally Gilford from 2009 to 2021. Hand screen printing, later giclée large format and direct to garment, and the studio where much of the printed work on this site was made.

Ten years based in a Salford mill, across three studios: printing, showing work on whatever walls were going, and putting on gigs. Off With Their Heads, PI3.14, the weaves, the sunflower windows and a lot of very good nights.

Ten years of one interlocking geometry, from the first wallpaper at the 3 Wise Monkeys to a van lined wall to wall with the pattern.

A text banner for the Interactive Arts course closing show, carrying a line spoken by course founder Tony Eve during a difficult moment years earlier. Installed as Covid-19 took hold, the show never opened.

An eight-year driving installation: a 1989 cream Mercedes hearse, driven, inhabited and adapted as a mobile studio and exhibition space across the UK and Europe, working alongside Dub Smuggler Sound System.

Memorial work for my friend Vera, who died in 2014: a banner sewn from fabric leaves her friends sent, prints and wallpaper made in her memory, a street-art board, and her denim jacket turned into a plan for the year.

A patterned tracksuit and photo series developed in response to the referendum and its aftermath, approached through satire rather than direct protest. Part of an ongoing archive rather than a fixed statement.

An artist-led Christmas shop on Chapel Street, Salford, with laser-etched acrylic mirror decorations and four commissioned laser-etched glass mirrors made for the space.

Headdress, costume and print commissions for the Manchester drag artist Cheddar Gorgeous: a geometric New Year’s Eve headdress, a spiked headpiece for the Vienna Life Ball, and the printed fabric behind Drag Against Trump.

A repeating printed pattern developed with Cheddar Gorgeous for a protest staged in London during Donald Trump’s UK visit, worn by three performers as the centre of the action’s visual identity. Covered by the BBC and the Guardian.

A run of work made with one technique: etching a design into a real glass mirror by laser, then chemically stripping the copper backing so it reads clear through the glass. From the first 2015 tests to the Open House show, the FOMO piece at the Lowry, and pop-up shop mirrors.
