At the centre of Parsons’ work is a commitment to originality and individual expression.
His practice draws on cultural imagery that has shaped collective imagination — from music and visual culture to wider social and political ideas. These references become starting points for artworks that explore identity, transformation, and the energy of creative thought.
The work reflects a belief that art should encourage people to think, question, and engage with the world around them.
Many prints are produced using hand-pulled silk screen printing, a process valued for its richness and physical presence. Carefully chosen papers, including handmade materials from historic European paper mills, provide texture and depth to the finished work.
This combination of contemporary imagery and traditional craft connects modern cultural themes with long-established artistic practice.
• Art that feeds the mind• Questioning received ideas and assumptions
• Celebrating creative freedom
• Cultural awareness and social responsibility
• Environmental awareness and the use of sustainable materials
These principles shape both the content of the work and the way it is produced
The studio is a place of sustained creative practice where ideas, materials, and cultural references come together to form new work.New works and editions are released regularly through exhibitions, website and studio updates.
