Interplay | The Great Exhibition festival 2024

Had the opportunity to take part at the great exhibition festival 2024 and paint a mural during the weekend.

Inspired by conversations with Dr Kate Godfrey from imperial's centre for Psychedelic research. Kate is investigating the therapeutic use of psychedelic drugs in the treatment of various mental health conditions.


Title: Flourish in mind

The piece depicts how the brain functions during psychedelic drug treatments and how it can encourage growth and connection in the mind, helping patients break out of cycles suffer from depression and addiction. The patterns at the top represent the imaging kit that patients would wear to record the brain waves during these activities, and the plants elements represent how psychedelics can help the mind flourish.

Five artists from around the world where given the opportunity to collaborate with five world-renowned football players for Pepsi's LOVE.IT.LIVE.IT 2018 World Cup campaign.

I was fortunately to collaborate with English rising football star Dele Alli to create a design that represented his energetic personality, charisma , stile and his passion for the sport.

Vauxhall Astra Electric

I was honoured to have teamed up with Vauxhall to create a mural for their award-winning Astra Electric. These murals can be seen in Shoreditch and Manchester.

“I wanted to show the energy of the Astra by making the patterns look like they are made of electricity – having them flow throughout the design in a way that is visually striking and aligned to Vauxhall’s bold and pure design language. It was a pleasure collaborating with Vauxhall, as they gave me creative freedom to express my vision of what clean energy would look like.”

HBO x Doors of thrones

In January 2016, the Game of Thrones® filming location known as the Dark Hedges, or Kingsroad to the people of Westeros, was battered by storm Gertrude.

We’ve used the wood from two trees that fell that day and carved them into 10 intricately designed pub doors, each one telling the story of an episode in Game of Thrones® Season 6.

From Cairncastle to the Glens of Antrim, via the Dark Hedges and Cushendun Caves, each door is within reach of a different filming location in Northern Ireland. This trail around Game of Thrones® territory is a piece of cultural heritage in the making.

The doors are on display in different pubs, cafés and inns and work together to create a unique exhibition across Northern Ireland. Each one is situated near an iconic filming location – so if you come across a door, you’ll know you’re in Game of Thrones® territory.
