Exhibition!

We've finally put the poster together so it's about time it went on here! I'm now very excited and can't wait to see my work in situ! Hope everyone can make it!

The work ranges from sculpture to collage, painting to installation, so it should be a really interesting and inspiring show.

Experimenting with Cardboard

Sorry for not posting for a while- have had a pretty hectic time! I''ve been in Uni a lot this week, getting on with making work ready for the exhibition (I will post more information on it next week once we've designed and printed flyers!).

I got fed up with working on metal and board yesterday afternoon- I find it a much less 'free' working experience with these more formal materials and like to return to working on surfaces like cardboard every so often to make some looser, more intuitive experiments.

Photocollage, pen and pencil drawing on cut cardboard. The work is just under A4. 

I'm in two minds as to whether to include 'sketches' like this within my show; I really like the work because it feels more natural to me and seems to have more flow, but unfortunately I don't think it really fits in with the work I've been making previously for the show. Let me know what you think! 

New Work

Collage, acrylic paint and pen on aluminium

The pressure's really on now as my exhibition at the Glass Box in Coventry is only 5 weeks away! I've been experimenting with new grounds for my work as well as working more specifically with Brutalist architecture as the basis for my work. 

Colour collage and oil paint on brass

This was the first collage I've tried using colour collage imagery. Feedback on what looks better would be much appreciated! Working onto metal is more difficult because you have to prepare the surface more than when using cardboard.

Acrylic, gloss paint and printed paper on laminate board. 

View of my studio with my work- you can see my series of books as well as the range of sizes in which I work. 

I really like the wall pieces that go round corners; I think they have more depth and are more interesting visually. 

Comments would be really appreciated! 

Welcome to my blog!

Hopefully I'll keep this regularly updated with news and images about my work and what I'm up to :)
