Shangri-la, Glastonbury festival & Secret Garden Party
This year I was lucky enough to spend the beginning of the summer in a field. Shangri-la in Glastonbury was the first place to be adorned by my pastings, before decamping to Cambridgeshire and creating some large-scale art pieces for the fantastically beautiful SGP.

LAVA gallery, London
For my first solo show of 2011, LAVA collective invited me to their gallery in Carnaby St. I created a small housing estate from cardboard and made a mess of the gallery by filing it with orange bricks and covering the walls in paint! … thanks to the guys at LAVA collective for making it happen and to everyone who made it down!

The lovely people down at artist residence hotel in Cornwall asked me to design one of their bedrooms. I didn’t need asking twice, so headed down to Cornwall with a bag full of spray paint and some brushes… here are some pictures of the finished room.
