In(Visible) Energy
2024
Mies Van der Rohe Pavillion,
Barcelona
Exhibition design and production to support an installation engineered by UCL Here East research team. Everything is threaded - each of the different structures requiring no nuts, held together and given rigidity by the display items themselves. This idea references the manufacturing and structural system of the pebble stacks and stems from the importance of connection details in these sculptures The other main design driver was the site itself, particularly concerned with the interaction between the stands and the gridded travertine. I wanted to use the gaps between and the void below to give the spindly structures stability, as well as hiding electrics and defining location.
A Seat at the Table
2025

Furniture & Functional Objects
2024
Elephant & Castle, London
Currated and produced group show 'Furniture & Functional Objects', opened June 2024. I produced all the graphics & copy, organised multiple events surrounding the show & entirely revamped an entire shop into a gallery space. 13 artists where involved.
Installation 3
2024
(Speculative)
Continuing with my interest in manipulating metal to create ‘textiles’ that interact with light. Warp is an activatable structure where by lights move inducing variations in lighting patterns. It would be introduced & demonstrated to the festival goers by a live improvised dance & musical enbamble, able to adjust the lighting rythmically as they perform. The system can be scaled, but began as a wall structure with bespoke kinetic mechanisms. Extremely difficult and labor intensive to manufacture at scale to be safe.
Installation 2
2024
Brixton, London
(Speculative)
1:10 scale model of a site specific wind powered installation. Inspired by the motion and form of agricultural machinery and our growing dependence on it, the components lurch, swing and rotate through a series of interconnected mechanical pathways.
Lucarcy Settlement
2023
The Black Forest, Germany
(Speculative)
Set in a valley in the Black Forest, this farming commune shares a deep routed obsession with the moon and the continuous geometry of circles, fundamental to mechanistic pathways. Premised on the relationship between man and mechanism, the building is a collection of anthropomorphic machines which are maintained, expanded and worshipped by its inhabitants, a mix of ‘romantic’ minds (concerned with aesthetic and overall form) and ‘classical’ minds (concerned with the function of individual parts composing the whole). Towering mirror machines target circular moonlight towards the site, controlling work and play on the farm.
In View of Situations
2021 - Ongoing
Southbank, London
(Speculative)
Developed from the theories of the Situationist International and their favoured practice of psychogeography, this project challenges our modern-day approach to how we travel around cities like London. The masterplan aims to center the spirit of urban exploration, and of wandering without purpose, in order to reclaim the city rather than simply adhering to the usual pattern of travelling between home-work-commerce. This puts the act of observing the built environment and the city’s inhabitants at the forefront of people’s minds as they continue their daily lives amid the urban landscape. Located beside Blackfriars Station on the Southbank, the building provides a sprawling free public space, art studios, practice spaces, waiting rooms and a docking station. Large symbiotic mechanisms attach observatory modules to trains as they arrive at Blackfriars Station, and flaneur passengers are taken on a derive through the city. A diverse range of interlinked conditions within the scheme cater to preferences for exhibitionism and voyeurism, pause and exploration. Altogether this creates a labyrinth of liminal and activatable spaces, promoting observation of not only its own articulated structure and its surrounding environments but also–and perhaps more importantly–of visitors, onlookers, and their varied activities. All collage material is taken from situationist magazines, video games that encourage world mapping, anarchist comics and newspaper games from my own travels around London. Primary materials: Steel and ETFE
Strider
2024
(Proposal)
Site specific installation inspired by stider insects that sit ontop of water.
Education
2024 - Ongoing
Urban Learners, London
Working with Urban Learners, developing and delivering architectural and creative education programmes for arts institutions and charitable organisations.
Tracking the Heritage
2024 - 2025
Camden Highline, London
Working with Urban Learners and Camden Highline, the Tracking the Heritage programme included a series of free workshops and tours for Camden Schools, a Family Guide and accompanying map and a online teachers resource, all focused around Camden's rich industrial heritage and the future of the borough.
Narcissus
2019
Walmers Yard, London
Sensory performance and installation. Comprised of three datums created using thin membranes, which interacted with each other and the courtyard displaying caustic light and echoing sound. I focused on production of the lowest datum, a latex membrane, clamped at the corners with hand crafted handles. I reiterated the design to manipulate the material into uncharacteristically being translucent whilst withstanding tension and vigorous movement. It could be flexed and shaken to produce reflections on the floor and umbrellas above and immense sound.
Loom(iere)
2020
Ridley Road, London
(Speculative)
A public space made entirely of functioning looms, canopies shift overhead and patterns emerge in the 'walls'. The community are encouraged to dye yarn with vegetable waste from the market, to encorporate and 'dress' the building. The screen formed by static threads, at the front of the scheme are projected onto, transforming the street into an open air cinema
Vintage Shop
2024
Elephant & Castle London
Initial concept visualisations for a vintage shop commissioned by Mercato Metropolitano Elephant & Castle.
Thesis
2023
London Underground
Focused on the tacit rule of civil inattention on the tube. I argued that it’s accessibility & unparalleled diversity in the capital, makes it the ultimate public space ripe for social interaction & observation. However, despite its richness in diversity, social stimuli & potential for novel interaction, one of the Tube’s most striking features is the way people tend to ignore each other & present as unaware or inattentive to their fellow travellers, creating an atmosphere of disconnection. I then discuss a dismantling of this tacit rule, suggesting it inhibits social cohesion & a missed oppertunity for individual understanding of fellow city dwellers. The contents page is an adapted version of a Tube station design rescipe book I found in a disused TFL building in Southwark.
