Before I was 40, I counted all the places I had called home. There were at least 35 different houses, flats, cities or towns. It’s little wonder a lot of my work is about place, home, maps, locations and belonging.

My work connects me to where I am and where I have been. It is about attempting to live by the idea of finding joy and beauty in where you are, in any moment, no matter how plain or exciting. Every moment matters.
