Today I have been making work from images contained in my series The Hob. Using experimental cut out techniques I have been working at combining various images in fusion to see this effect away from the canvas. I was particularly interested in the image of the electric plate overlaying the gas hob cut out to reveal a quite conical looking gas ring vaguely reminiscent of a breast with its associated theme of feeding. An inadvertent piece of subversion in the past employed by the likes of surrealist artist Salvador Dali, (1904–1989), with creations such as the Lobster Telephone, (1936) and Mae West Lips Sofa, (1937).
