My practice is an expansive investigation into the banal, mundane and the everyday as experienced when walking. It explores a variety of critical theory on the city, including ideas around urbanism, architecture, anthropology, the everyday and place.

In ‘An Attempt to Exhaust a Place in Paris’, George Perec begins by cataloguing what exists in the street.  “My intention was to describe what remains; that which we generally don’t notice, which doesn’t call attention to itself, which is of no importance: what happens when nothing happens, what passes when nothing passes, except time, people, cars and clouds”.

The aim of my practice is to focus on the things that are regarded as banal and everyday, that don’t call attention to themselves, the things that are never mapped. I use painting, photography, drawing, interventions and book making to catalogue and record the everyday as experienced on walks.
My work functions as a rigorous examination of the everyday areas that we all encounter in the city. This is explored in my recent projects, which include Four Great Points, a painting intervention in the Hackney Wick area, now the Olympic Zone and a new series of books recording walks and interventions, these are under the umbrella title Field Studies, and include a walk of the Olympic Boundary Fence, the Victoria Park Night Walk and the Industrial Estate of Hackney Wick 

The function of my work, I hope, is to bring into focus the procedures of the everyday and to increase our engagement with the fabric of the city. It can be argued that, by looking at the banal and mundane processes of the everyday, perhaps we can create a kind of visual resistance to the dominance of consumer and commercial imagery we are constantly presented with.
For me, the act of walking, and looking at the commonplace and everyday, allows us to slow down the time we have and to create a space within those banal images and experiences, and to incorporate quiet subversions in our daily activities.
