Sweater Porn, an ongoing project, investigates the obsessive nature of craft by combining the matronly pastime of crochet with the slick and often intensely male focused porn industry. At odds with the implied modesty of being fully covered, colourful and creative reinterpretations of sexuality are facilitated by the flexibility of the medium.

The Condemned imagines the stories of three abandoned houses in the East village, Inglewood and Ramsey; buildings that suggest an affluent past, and provoke curiosity about their fall from grace. Large fragmented drawings express the circumstances of decay, while drawing attention to the beauty and history of a different time.
