EAT THE WORLD CUP
SPRING 2026

Business Park

Business Park. 120x60cm. 2026.

Collage on paper.

This piece exposes the euphemistic use of language, regularly employed by urban planners. This is the kind of vision that the term ‘business park’ connotes – a surreal landscape of office blocks, candy-floss clouds, ornamental bridges, non-native tropical plants and a Ferris wheel, populated by a lunch-break picnicking couple and swans meandering on the lazy river.

Border Checkpoints

If we're going to have a border, at least do it properly!

Border Checkpoints. Each 25x15cm (plus canes). 2026.

Cardboard, paint, lolly sticks, garden canes.

XXXXXL
Conservatory

Conservatory. 60x40cm. 2026.

Collage on paper.

I have watched too many police procedurals to take for granted the bucolic, prim and proper character of this garden.

XXXXXL. Approx 90x90cm. 2026.

Paint on T-shirt.

Get World Cup ready. Being English is complicated. This piece is intended as a critique of the excesses and bloated-ness of modern life. We exist in a sophisticated, dangerous consumerist culture where the same supermarket will sell you mountains of unhealthy, processed food as well as the ultra-large t-shirt you’ll subsequently need to contain yourself.
