In late 2020, I was shot outside the Cat & Mutton pub on Broadway Market—an area I had called home. The shooting left me paralysed and marked the beginning of a new relationship with the street, shaped by trauma, survival, and artistic inquiry.

Through Imprints, I’m exploring this layered terrain—where personal history meets social unrest, gentrification, violence and recovery. Supported by an Arts Council DYCP grant, this project allows me to develop new approaches as a tetraplegic artist, using drawing, writing, photography, and printmaking to trace the imprint of place on body and memory.

These blog entries offer a personal record of that process—mapping a journey through art, disability, and the landscapes that have shaped my re-birth.
