This Art work stages a confrontation between the mythological figure of David, a stand in for the heroic subjectivity and the impersonal weapon system that is colloquially known as “David’s Sling”.

Drypoint on Aluminium with Polishing
Printed with Doux on Hannah Müller white while artist in residence at Dumfries House.
The aluminium was also polished to press down its grain and remove the plate tone around ‘the work of art’.
Thematically the work celebrates the impotence of this work of art in the face of the world.
As part of my artistic experimentation I tried to create “chromatic grey” so that the black had a varied tone, in this print I created a very dark purple which creates subtle difference in plate tone.
The Work of Art

20 x 15 cm
I made this print as artist in residence at Dumfries House.
The work was produced in Switzerland as part of the Conspicuous Heights residency and printed by @romans_artwork at the @dumfrieshouse printmaking workshop as part of his four week residency there.
Tetrapak Exquisite Corpse Collaborative print “banana demiurge”
7 x 10
Drypoint on Tetrapak made in collaboration with @romans_artwork @bek.ashton and @arthur_boothby (and possibly someone else drop me a dm)
This work was produced by introducing a scalpel and Tetrapak into the act of sauna-ing.
This work deals with the way the idea of freedom spread from a rupture in the symbolic order to something perverted, repressed and constrained by capital.
This work is being exhibited at Clifford Chance as part of the show “Postgraduate Printmaking in London 2025: A survey of London Art Colleges” it can be viewed by appointment at 10 Upper Bank Street London E14 5JJ.
The exhibition is on until 16th January.
