Leytonstone Arts 2025
I would like to extend my gratitude to Hannah and her team for welcoming my artwork to the Leytonstone Arts Trail 2025 at Studio Eleven Leytonstone.
Thank you, too, for coming to see my work. Through my art, I explore my passions, attempt to make sense of the world around me, and aim to spark meaningful conversations, often injecting humour into my pieces to engage and entertain.
Please read on to learn more about my work in 'All Opinions Are Not My Own'.
I hope you enjoy the show.
Far Rage Ale Coasters
Inspired by my textile banner ‘Blind Drunk’, these beer coasters spotlight those desperately clinging to the far-right rhetoric of Reform UK Ltd.
Each design is hand-drawn digitally, styled with a World War-era aesthetic that echoes the distorted nostalgia often used in right-wing messaging.
Limited number sold at the show.

2025: the year tariffs became the preferred flex of fragile strongmen

Foresight
Foresight takes the format of a familiar eye test and turns it into something more personal and political. As the lines shrink, a hidden message appears:
“Tell your dad to not vote Reform because they’re a bunch of Nazis.”
The piece plays with the idea of vision - not just eyesight, but how we imagine the future. Eye charts are often associated with older generations, and that’s deliberate with this piece. The work quietly speaks to the influence of that generation’s voting power, and the way political conversations often pass between generations in quiet, sometimes uncomfortable ways.
The message is blunt, but the delivery is soft: stitched by hand, disguised in a format linked with care and authority. It asks us to look more closely - not just at what’s in front of us, but at where we’re headed.
