‘Blokism’ - My work explores aspects of manhood. Not being afraid to express ideas that are emotive and serious, I reflect upon my experience as a young male of growing up alone.
Through media such as ceramic sculpture, print making and painting, I explore imagery showing view points on women, work and psychology.
