Mostly Repetition
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. Later, I worked into selected patterns to translate and pair them back to work with a Rollo thermal shipping label printer. I’m now using Cinema 4D to stage what the printed labels might look like in 3D space, producing high fidelity stills, and pleasingly coming full circle back to a photograph again. The project has served, and continues to serve, as a therapeutic distraction and a continuous design practice for me. It may one day settle on a final form, or like the process itself, have different branches to explore further.

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.
