Three winding steps leading to a shape resembling a door set against the gallery wall, emitting a bright glow of white light.

A series of sculptures permanently installed at Elephant Park consist of three pairs of sculptures based on working with these schools to create a figurative sculpture dressed in an amalgamation of clothes of their own choosing, as opposed to clothes suggested by function or social convention; and an abstract sculpture based on a discussion-led workshop with Ryan Gander at the end of 2021. Installing each school’s figurative sculpture and abstract sculpture together, each sculptural pair has a unique interaction between figure and sculpture, based on the artist’s interpretation and class discussion.

This project that has been developed in partnership with the South London Gallery and the Contemporary Art Society. The final works are all co-authored with a selection of Year 4 / KS2 (8-9 year old) pupils from three Southwark primary schools (Robert Browning, Charlotte Sharman and Crampton Primary) — all schools in the local vicinity of Elephant Park.

Permenantly installed in Elephant and Castle London, UK.

A 1:1 scale sculpture of a form called a Dolos, originally designed to act as a beach defence against coastal erosion, recreated in low carbon concrete. A computer model of the Dolos was treated with an algorithm that simulates snowfall. The mass of snow that accumulated on the Dolos was then subtracted from the mass of the original form, leaving a seemingly half finished or eroded sculpture, which can only be completed with the addition of snow in the real world.

Three polished stainless steel sculptures initially conceived by the artist's father when he worked at General Motors in the 1980s, and based on parts of the steering mechanism of a commercial Bedford truck, re-imagined by the artist from his father’s verbal description. Each piece represents a chess piece (two Kings and one Queen) and are positioned in a "checkmate" situation, yet due to the fact that all three are identical in colour and finish, it is impossible to tell which piece is the one in checkmate and which piece is on which side.

A concrete resin sculpture, commissioned by the Public Art Fund for Central Park, New York City (USA), of the ruin of the fictional statue The Happy Prince – as interpreted by the artist from the final chapter of the children’s book The Happy Prince (1888) by Oscar Wilde.

Hundreds of thousands of coins consisting of three different designs, freely distributed in a public context to be found or discovered at free will by the entire population of a city or region. The coins have been designed to act both as lucky charms, to remind the finder of the value of time and attention as opposed to solely money, but also to act as a decision making tool that can be utilised to assist with choice and spontaneity. The three coins are based on three different themes.: Pause and Action, Together and Solo, as well as Speak and Listen. In addition, the coins carry mottos within their designs, such as ‘Time is your greatest asset’ and ‘Let the world take a turn’, both of which are often repeated by the artist's father, highlighting the dichotomy and value between doing and not doing, a true exercise in agency and change.
