I’m presenting my film M180 (A Life Spent Trying to Find Something) as part of Digitalism at this year’s @britishartfair . Curated by Rebekah Tolley, @rebekahtolleydigitalist the exhibition runs from 25–28 September and is open daily from 11am–9pm.
Launched last year, Digitalism is an art movement and dedicated space within the fair that champions artists working at the intersection of art and technology. Now in its second edition, it brings together groundbreaking work across AI, AR, VR, digital sculpture, moving image, photography and painting—spotlighting how digital tools are reshaping contemporary practice.
I’ll be in the gallery throughout the fair, sharing my process and talking with visitors about my approach to digital drawing.
My film explores my long-standing interest in liminal spaces—those in-between places that are neither here nor there. M180 weaves together footage of beaches, fields, motorways and business parks, reflecting on transitional zones like service stations, designed for passing through rather than staying. These spaces embody a faded vision of modern progress—still lined with billboards selling cheap, unattainable dreams.
Through the film, I reflect on motorway travel as a kind of grey meditation: the act of driving as a loop, a search for escape from work and routine, yet never quite reaching the imagined destination. it’s both a personal and cultural meditation on longing, escapism and the persistence of the everyday.
Since 1988, the British Art Fair has celebrated the very best in Modern and Contemporary British art, bringing together leading dealers at the iconic Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea. It’s an annual chance to encounter ambitious, rare and exceptional works, and to engage with the evolving landscape of British art.
As curator @rebekahtolleydigitalist notes:
“In our digitally saturated world, artists are creating work that feels native to these spaces. Digitalism is about connection, collaboration and co-creation—part of the long tradition of art responding to societal and technological change. It’s not just about art: it’s about how we learn, communicate, protest and play. A new lens through which to see the world.”
