The meaning of a chosen text always informs the script on the pieces - the marks all say something, the impact being placed on an emotional response before a rational response - this is why the text sometimes seems illegible.

Since graduating from The Royal College of Art in 2001, I have worked from my studio in west London. I have exhibited in galleries and shows throughout the UK and once in the US. Most of my commissions are from private collectors - people who have become friends; the biggest collector of my work are Mr and Mrs Khayat (Mrs Khayat is Chairwoman of Fortnum and Mason).
