Great news from my neighbour just 10 minutes ago, my exhibition 'Void' that took place over the Easter weekend in Aldeburgh is in the local newspaper. My neighbour has kindly given me her copy. I had to retrieve it from under her sleeping cat so any ideas of fame and fortune have been put in [...]
This animation was created over the 3 day weekend and shows the growth of a concrete landscape that is made up from packaging that was brought along by participating audience.
Just got home after the last day of my exhibition, Void - The landscape of waste packaging at Caroline Wiseman's South Lookout Tower. What an amazing 3 days, wonderful weather (If a little cold), great conversations with an excellent audience of friends, family and friendly strangers. Excited how some of these chance encounters will turn [...]
Just got home after installing my exhibition at The Lookout Tower, Aldeburgh. Very tired, but excited too...remind me why artists do this ;)
Very pleased to see coverage in the East Anglian Daily Times and the Ipswich Evening Star today for my upcoming exhibition :)
In my exhibition at The Lookout, Aldeburgh next week I will be exploring issues surrounding waste packaging. What impact does this waste have on our world? Where does it all come from? As I mentioned in a previous post, the quantity of waste packaging per person in the UK is at a staggering 175kg a year. Only 25% is [...]
In my upcoming exhibition 'Void - The landscape of waste packaging' I use rubbish as the basis and form of my sculptures. I also use everyday concrete to create these molds from packaging. Throughout history artists have found beauty in the ugly and mundane and used the unwanted waste of others to create art. For [...]
I have made some of the signage for my upcoming exhibition. At least one of our cats likes it :)

Like all small boys seem to be, I was obsessed with collecting. Not interesting or useful things, but worthless items like stones, labels, badges and pencils! Spending time drawing these collections has given them a whole new relevance and life. I hope they help you remember treasures from your past :)
I got this from my aunty, my brother had a green one, I had a blue one. It took forever to draw this one, but brought back many happy memories while creating it :)
I plan to upload images of the drawings that were included in my show 'The Loft'. Many of the original artworks are still available to buy, most are availble as affordable prints, please get in touch for more details. Here is the first drawing 'Balloon Racing Car', something for you to have a look at and enjoy on your [...]
