After a fantastically successful month long residency with the Creative Debuts team at Whitechapel Gallery’s Black & White building, my work is now being showcased at WeWork’s co-working office space in Spitalfields, one of their 11 spaces in London
WeWork provides shared workspace, community, and services for entrepreneurs, freelancers, startups and small businesses across the globe.
Here is a small gallery of what’s hanging at WeWork Spitalfields.
A massive thank you from myself and the whole Living Free collective to everyottne who has supported us in any way shape or form. This was only our second show ever!
It wouldn’t have been possible without the Creative Debuts team. They’ve been incredible throughout the whole process and we fully support their movement. All the hard work was warmly received, and as ever I have been overwhelmed by the positive response.
Below are some photos of the launch night captured by Jonathan Simpson.
The event is on until 2nd May and I have a lot more planned. So watch this space.
Our month long residency at Matthews Yard Gallery in Croydon as part of the Living Free Art Collective starts tomorrow, 7th October until 1st November 2015.

I wanted to create an urban fox entirely made from rubbish and items I found while on my travels around Croydon. It’s been in the making for around a year, trying to find each perfect piece such as old rusty coke cans etc. Made on an old discarded road sign, spray painted white with a few of the original features left coming through.
The piece represents the way a fox improvises due to the environment, by foraging and scavenging.

Urban Fox Collage – Mix Media on Road sign.
I wanted to create an Urban fox entirely made from rubbish and picked up items I found on my travels around Croydon. It’s been in the making for around a year trying to find each perfect piece such as old rusty coke cans.
This is made on an old road sign my dad found for me that I sprayed white with Montana Cans but with a few of the original sign left just coming through.
The piece represents the way a fox improvises to its environment using rubbish and it’s urban environment.
This will be on view in October in Matthews Yard Croydon in October for an exhibition for local artists. Why not come along and have a butchers…
