As a carpenter I am used to building spaces and creating beautiful homes for others. Lockdown has really made me think about my own space
and want to make a sanctuary of my own. This inspired me to build my little backyard studio! I now spend a lot of time in my backyard studio
painting and making timber sculptures and bespoke furniture pieces. I am really interested in the space between art and design.
My practice has been reinvigorated through the lockdown. It has allowed me to concentrate and refine my ideas (although getting materials
has been tough at times).
I've always been inspired by Victorian terrace houses. The intricate design features were much more considered than today's.
The living room is my favourite room at home as it is a shared space. I created this record stand as a centerpiece for a living room, to
bring people together.
After studying fine art I completed my carpentry apprentice and had a bit of a hiatus from painting. Lockdown has helped me pick up the
brush. My current favourite design object is a painting that I recently did of a campfire scene with people sitting around a fire -
something that I wish we could be doing right now.
