Biographical Globes
Charting the places and journeys that matter.
Where are you from? Where have you lived? The answers to these questions make us who we are. I take those locations and journeys and turn them into physical form in wood and metal - Biographical Globes.. Each piece becomes a unique sculpture that reflects a life; a world that tells a single story.
Trained in woodturning, jewellery making, carving and metalsmithing. I create each piece by hand at my studio in London.
Charting the places and journeys that matter…and nothing else.
A biographical globe is a geographical portrait of a life. It excludes countries and continents to focus on what was important to a particular person, their life, their story. The relevant locations are precisely mapped and inlaid. The result is a personal talisman. Something both simpler than a terrestrial globe and at the same time much, much more.
And yes, while it may sound like something the Victorians invented (and would certainly have loved) it is a concept I’ve created to explain the work I do.

Cockpit Studios
I currently work from Cockpit Studios. Cockpit provides space and support for over 170 makers across multiple disciplines at two different locations in London. I am at the Deptford location, Studio 108.
Open Studios is held twice yearly. The next one runs from 4-6 December 2026; visitors are welcome. I am happy to discuss commissions in person during Open Studios. More information on commissioning a personal biographical globe is available on the Bespoke page here.
