Selected Works

01 — Selected

2025

Red Room Studies

Acrylic & ink on paper

A series of nocturnes worked in layers — figures dissolving into the dark, edges scraped back with a blade until the paper shows through.

2025

Tape Loops

Voice, piano & found cassette

Short recordings built from a single take, looped and let to fray

2024

Hand-Bound

Sewn textile & thread

Offcuts stitched into a soft, irregular page that keeps every seam visible.

2024

Kitchen-Table Still Lifes

Pencil & wash

Drawn at night from whatever was left on the table — cherries, a glass, a folded note.

2023

First Takes

Piano

Unedited piano sketches, kept for their mistakes as much as their melody.

Studio Notes

05 — Studio

Note — 02:14

Left the underpainting too clean. Came back, dragged a dry brush across it until it caught.

Materials

Red thread, black thread, a cassette shell, three cherries, one borrowed lens.

Recording

The loop only worked once the room went quiet. Kept the take with the chair creak in it.

Margin

Every page returned with fingerprints. That is fine. It means it was held.
