What you are looking at — if your browser allows it — is a living portfolio canvas: works, categories and exhibitions arranged as one connected graph, with rich media on every node. It is less a catalogue than a map of the practice, drawn while the practice is still moving.

The practice moves between painting, video and 3D forms. Iterative studies translate across media, each work informing the next until a coherent body emerges — sometimes in the studio, often in dialogue with space and audience.

The works

Painting — studies in light and material, where perception is the subject as much as the motif. Moved picture — video works that stretch a moment until its structure shows. 3D forms — digital and spatial objects that test how memory occupies volume. Exhibitions gather these threads into rooms; the canvas above keeps them in conversation.

For curators, galleries and institutions

Selected works are available for exhibition and acquisition, and the practice is open to commissions, residencies and collaborations with galleries, museums, festivals and universities. For a CV, work documentation or a studio visit, enquiries are welcome via variable.gallery.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a portfolio or an art work?

Both. The portfolio is arranged as a living canvas — works, categories and exhibitions as one connected graph — because that is how the practice behaves: each work informs the next across painting, video and 3D forms.

Can the works be exhibited?

Yes. The works translate to gallery, screening and projection contexts, and selected pieces are available for exhibition and acquisition. Curators, galleries and institutions are welcome to request a CV and availability via variable.gallery.

Why is the portfolio a graph?

A grid hides the connections; the practice lives in them. Light, memory and material recur across media, so the portfolio shows the works and the lines between them — a map of the practice rather than a list of its products.
