He creates artwork using everyday materials, to showcase the creative potential of recycling and to make abstract scientific subjects accessible, relatable and fun. His art projects include bicycle drawing machines, walk-in camera obscura rooms, pandemic portraits, record player animations, long-exposure pinhole photography, astronomy tours by bike, and geometric sculptures made from recycled materials. He has brought his creative science activities to schools and art/science events in the UK and around the world (including Azerbaijan, UAE, India, South Korea, Greece, Egypt and US).
