Nothing Can Ever Be The Same (2023)

Nothing Can Ever Be The Same will be on display as part of the Aesthetica Art Prize 2025 at York Art Gallery from 19 Sep 2025 — 25 Jan 2026

This site documents my continuing fascination for making computer-based work using generative and automated systems to create objects which exist digitaly, physically and sometimes both.

Find out more about me and feel free to get in touch.
