Fascinated with graffiti as I was growing up, my eyes constantly scanned city walls looking for new pieces. As I internalised the techniques of other writers, I also unconsciously studied the surfaces they painted on. Observing spray paint reacting with various materials and how overlapping graffiti merged to create unintended accidents and textures.

Now, with an extensive archive of photographs documenting these surfaces, captured all over the world, I aim to recreate the techniques that caused them to exist, rather than meticulously trying to copy the subject matter. Speeding up the process of rusting, fading or flaking, all naturally occurring phenomena, I use corrosives, abrasives and complex layering techniques to emulate this passing of time. The resulting mixed media artworks capture these transitional processes, each painting is layer upon layer of paint, collage or other materials with often only a glimpse of each visible to the viewer.

The city space not only inspires my work but often provides the materials I work with, scrap metal and wooden boards become canvases, while discarded promotional posters become integral components of my compositions.

Each of my works captures fragments of hidden stories embedded within the urban landscape, appreciating the often overlooked, and viewing each scrape and score as a testament to these objects’ resilience to the outside world.

This series of artworks takes a magnified look at the makeup of urban street objects such as walls, electrical boxes, and skips. It looks into the decay of these objects and the stories embedded within their often-overlooked surfaces.

The series consists of mixed-media works that reflect the transitional processes of weathering and corrosion, revealing glimpses of graffiti, paint, and posters layered over time. Each artwork is like flicking through a book, reading only fragments of each page, yet forming a story nonetheless.

The works are constructed from scrap materials, including rusted metal panels, weathered wooden boards, and torn promotional posters. These materials serve as both canvas and subject, with additional layers of paint, abrasives, and corrosives applied to emulate processes such as rusting, fading, and flaking.
