I’ve spent twenty-five years making images move, building procedural systems, constructing invisible worlds, exploring visual narrative, creating sequences, supervising the kind of work that ends up on BBC and Netflix.

I work as a Senior CG Artist and Supervisor at Lux Aeterna in Bristol. My practice is centred on Houdini, USD pipelines, poetry and structural thinking; the architecture underneath the image as well as the image itself. I’m less interested in spectacle than in behaviour: how a system decides, how a form emerges, how restraint can carry more charge than noise.

But I’ve always been something else alongside that. A writer. A notebook keeper. Someone who draws by hand in a digital industry and reads more fiction than technical documentation. The work that interests me most operates under pressure, says less than it knows, trusts the reader to close the gap.

This site is where those two things live together. The professional work is here. So is the rest, photographs, references, fragments, thinking in progress. It doesn’t resolve into a single category and I’ve stopped trying to make it.

I’m currently writing fiction. I’m interested in the overlap between procedural systems and narrative structure, the places where a pipeline and a sentence obey the same logic.

As well as VFX I have directed. Animated poems for the BBC. A short film at the London Film Festival. That thread still runs through everything.

If any of that is useful to you, welcome.
