Born in Pau, France in 1996, Graham grew up in Italy, China, and then Senegal, where he began carving volcanic stone at 17, within the Baye Fall community, in the streets of Dakar.

His eye has been shaped as much by the sculptures of ancient Rome and primitive African art as by the iconography of the temple of Confucius. He seeks a universal, timeless form in the figures he carves.

After studying agricultural engineering, Graham worked on farms, using farmers repair workshops to shape sculptures with whatever tools were on hand and wood he found in the forests.

Ten years later, Graham sought to put down roots and settled on the family farm in Dordogne, where he set up his workshop in an old barn.

His practice begins in the forest and along the edges of pastures, with trees fallen during storms. He starts by cutting and roughing out the trunks with a chainsaw, then uses gouges and mallets to bring forth simple, striking works. He finds freedom and grounding in his body through the slowness of the process and the weight of his pieces.
