ABOUT MIND THE MAP
In September 2025, going through my recently passed father's belongings, I discovered a box full of old maps. Mainly Ordnance Survey, some tourist maps, a cartography of a life well lived.
My father was passionate about finding uses for things. I often teased him that unless he found one quickly, it tipped into hoarding. So when I looked at the box, I wondered how best to use the maps to honour his legacy, and decided to make artwork on them.
That simple gesture, create and recycle, exploded into a frenzy. With my passion for collaboration, I invited other artists to join me. Fifty-five of them, in the end. The process had a shape: I would start a map and another artist would finish it; they would start one and I would finish theirs. One simple rule, destroy, compliment, or destroy and compliment what the other artist had done.
The results were unplanned, spontaneous, and exciting to watch evolve.
In October 2025, MIND THE MAP exhibited at The Sidings, under Waterloo Station, yards from Leake Street, the legal graffiti tunnel that had given me a front-row seat for years to how powerful collaborative mark-making can be.
What you'll find in the shop are originals from that project, alongside A3 giclée prints of selected pieces. Every work is a collaboration, my hand and another artist's, somewhere in the conversation between destruction and compliment.

There's a longer story behind ITVOIDS, what happened after the exhibition in October 2025 closed, a six-month rabbit AI hole, and why this project needed to leave the studio to be finished. If you want it, it's in the journal.
