A series of reportage illustrations made while on location while in Calais. Currently exhibiting at the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford and Oxford University until November 2019 in an exhibition called LANDE looking at some of the images and objects found, collected and or left behind from the Calais ‘refugee’ camps.

The drawings were created to look at questions around migration first hand and to try to go beyond the headlines and rhetoric whole also adding a first hand human account of people and lives caught up within the ongoing migration crisis, while also recording a key event in recent times.

The drawings have also been exhibited at the House of Illustration as part of the recent exhibition ‘Journeys Drawn’, at York Art Galley in the 2018 exhibition the Sea is the Limit, as a featured exhibit at the London Illustration Fair and as part of the Migration Museum’s exhibition in London ‘Call Me By Name: Stories from Calais and beyond…’ in 2016/17.

Illustrations working as an installation for the National Coal Mining and a year long exhibition, looking at the impact of Nationalisation on the coal mining industry ‘For The People By The People’.
