Midnight Votive is inspired by a series of Roman votive plaques that are part of the Ashwell Hoard, a collection of twenty-seven gold and silver Romano-British objects uncovered in Herefordshire in 2002, later acquired by the British Museum.. Created in fulfilment of vows or in gratitude for divine favor, these small objects embody tangible expressions of faith and hope, ancient devotion carried across sixteen centuries to the present. The work reinterprets these gestures, distilling the ornate leaf and chevron motifs of the originals into quieter, contemporary forms. Using graphite, a comparatively modest material in contrast to the precious metals of the past, the drawings reposition significance from material wealth to the act of making. While commonplace, graphite is also the material from which graphene is derived, a substance celebrated for its extraordinary properties and potential to shape future technologies. In this context, the drawings become contemporary votives; objects of attention and devotion aligned not with divine invocation, but with the data-driven systems, infrastructures, and technologies that structure present-day life.

Sea of Vapours, is a series of monochromatic drawings exploring humanity’s insatiable demand for natural resources, using data from the UN’s Global Resources Outlook (2019) alongside the work of 17th-century astronomers Giovanni Riccioli and Francesco Grimaldi, who contributed to lunar nomenclature. According to NASA the moon holds hundreds of billions of dollars of untapped resource. In recent years countries such as United States, China, Russia, and India have all declared an interest to discover more about the elements held on the earth’s only natural satellite, as an era of moon mining and the lunar gold rush edges ever closer.

Mountains is an ongoing series of drawings that overlay data on political and economic systems to explore our transitory relationship with the world. The work takes publicly available data published by the BBC; the Office for National Statistics and the Governments own website to create a series of ‘data landscapes.’
