Phone art
2017 – Present | London Overground
A series of patterns created during a daily commute on the London Overground between 2017 – 2019. Made using original photos, selected and manipulated with a focus on contrast. Currently exploring further manipulation in a 3D space.
With an average journey time of 20 minutes, and limited signal, I'd select a photo (shot on iPhone 6), manipulate and repeat it, to slowly degrade it from a photograph, to a picture and finally a pattern. This process created multiple branches and possibilities. The discipline came, nearing the end of the train journey, when signal returned and I shared the image on social media, committing to a final look. Like a game, the activity served as a warm up for the day ahead, and helped to strengthen my decision making.

Radio
28 Oct. 2018 – 23 Sept. 2023 | Bristol, UK
A roundabout route through the music we love, from dub to grime, via post-punk, house, techno and ambient.
After four years of running Roads, our monthly daytime events at Rye Wax in Peckham, we take to the waves, for a spin-off radio show every other month on Noods Radio in Bristol. With the original founders having scattered across the country during the pandemic, it is a good excuse to meet up regularly and share the music we’ve been feeling over the previous months.

Music event
01 Oct. 2016 – 29 Feb. 2020 | 30 Events | London, UK
Extended daytime sessions with some of our favourite selectors playing records together over a few pints. Expect some of the upstarts, established faces and unsung purveyors of the UK underground.
We start Roads in 2016 – four friends with Bristol connections – looking to create something regular in south-east London. It’s a free daytime music event on a Saturday. For us, it’s about making a commitment once a month to meet, invite someone along that we haven’t seen for a while to come and play, have a pint and a catch up. We want it to feel easy and open, with the potential for a community to develop around it. We run it until 2020, totalling 30 events.
