This new painting is something I’ve been working on that takes some ideas I was working with a couple of years ago and updates them somewhat. I originally ran out of steam when working on such works before but new themes and concepts that I have been working with have enabled me to breathe new [...]
One of a short series of new sculptures I’ve been working on combining man made objects with other mixed media exploring ideas relating to self image. Materials Pre-Fabricated Objects Plaster Clay Polyurethane Foam Wire Synthetic Hair Latex
This one of a few new maquettes that I’ve been working on with synthetic hair and clay. As you can see from the images above my intention is to suspend them but I’m yet to work out exactly how they should be displayed; whether mobile-esque a la Alexander Calder, or whether they should perhaps be [...]
This a sneaky peak of a piece of work that I have been busy with in the studio tonight. It’s one of a number of smaller pieces that I’ve been working on that are nearing completion. I’ve been trying to spread my focus a little of late so that it’s not solely upon those large [...]
This is a detail from a drawing I completed last week (although a lot of the detail seems to have been lost now that I’ve shrunk the image). The drawing is entitled Mindspace: Malformed Aura. Full images will be uploaded to the gallery pages in due course. Materials: Pencil Paper
With a large new installation/sculpture in progress I have started experimenting again during those slow spells that occur in the laborious processes that I’m engrossed in once again. This in one of those experiments that has got me a little excited although I’m not 100% clear where it’s leading yet. Materials: Polyurethane Foam Enamel Paint [...]
I’ve been quite excited by developments that have happened within my practice lately and these gloopy balls are one of the results of my latest experiments. As usual they are painted objects; this time constructed from wire, latex, polystyrene and acrylic paint. Materials Polystyrene Wire Acrylic Paint Varnish
I’ve been working with a lot of clay lately as a part of a new installation I’m working on. Currently I’m using it in conjunction with other materials but I’ve really been enjoying using it and started to explore ways in which I might be able to use it to realise other ideas I’ve been [...]
I’ve been working on some smaller individual objects that stand alone, aside from my installations, recently. The piece pictured is something I have been creating for the Welsh Artist of the Year 2010 competition. It’s a strange competition and three dimensional entries are limited to 15″ in any direction. I have taken inspiration from some [...]
I’ve started work on a new large scale installation which follows on from those maquettes I posted here in October. The first batch of objects are well under way being created from canvas and polyester fibres. I think this is a piece of work that will take a considerable amount of time to complete alongside [...]
