I am a woodworker based in the hills of Weardale in County Durham. I design and make wooden furniture and objects as well as using my practice to explore the nature of these pieces, assessing notions of value and the importance of context affecting perceived importance of objects. 

I am interested in the non-physical qualities applied to objects that affect the way they are consumed. In its simplest terms, I am fascinated by how easily value, status and nature can change depending on persona and descriptors of those who create, sell or exhibit them.
