This piece, made of found objects, is named after one of the most common Italian idioms, che palle! Literally, ‘what balls’ (it doesn’t correspond to the English exclamation ‘bollocks’ (nonsense), rather, it means, ‘what a pain’ or ‘that sucks.’ There are so many reasons to exclaim che palle, not least the destruction being caused by our over-consumption of avocados.

This art work celebrates Sheila Corrigan, who was born in 1928, and who was a talented tap and musical comedy dancer, acrobat and contortionist. Her family had a postcard of her in this amazing pose and asked me if I could do anything with it. I was thrilled as I love making works like this, the possibilities are endless. I considered putting the image on a tray or a table top, then I came across a lovely old frame I’d picked up in a charity shop in Cornwall, with a depth that meant I could play with reflection and shadow to give it movement.

This is a reflective installation that reimagines the ​handmade notices​ aimed at non white immigrants during the 1960s and 70s. This work opens up the conversation around what prejudice looked like then and what it looks like now. A different London back then, witnessed immigrants often from the West Indies being confronted by hostile signs in the windows of boarding houses, which said: "Rooms to let: No dogs, no coloureds". This meant that many were forced to rent homes in the most rundown areas. The work echoes those discriminatory windows, but in contrast, states “Blacks, dogs, Irish, Jews, LGBTQIA, neurodiverse, refugees, all welcome.”

This is a bush that wanted to be a tree in my neighbour’s garden. Named Daphne after the Greek tree spirit.
