His paintings often allude to rooms from literature, such as the bedroom of Gregor Samsa, the hapless travelling salesman who transforms into an insect in Kafka's Metamorphosis. His recent exhibition at Hawick museum in Scotland tells the story of a house in the grounds of the museum, owned by his grandparents and demolished in the 1950s. Based around a painting of the house from memory by his uncle, the artist compiled his own paintings, a giant doll’s house, a short film and photographs.
