A visual proposal created exclusively for Saatchi Yates. This short film captures the tone, ambition, and directional process of my current pyrotechnical practice — presented as a cinematic invitation to imagine what we could build together.

I'm a UK-based artist with an MA in Art & Science from Central Saint Martins, London. I specialize in working with pyrotechnics (gunpowder, smoke grenades and other exothermic materials) on canvas in order to address creation via destruction.

The purpose in approaching you with this is to hopefully be granted a conversation that could ultimately lead to us connecting and working together, whether that be an exhibition or some form of representation. I’ve created this process video specifically for private presentation to Saatchi Yates.
