This is the question that inspired me to make ‘Rich Enough to be Batman’: a collection of screen prints depicting the Queen wearing a Batman mask. The prints provoke a pressing question about wealth and social contribution – “If you […]

My fourth short film is taken from a poem I wrote a few years ago while experiencing quite severe depression and would take a lot of long walks across the city, mostly looking at the ground.  I initially made a […]

I used to love drawing as a kid and began getting back into it a couple of years ago, mainly as an accompaniment to research, but didn’t really look into it in any great depth.  More recently, I have been […]

My third short film draws from an artist statement I wrote that makes reference to Kandinsky’s ideas of the spiritual in art and how this has influenced developments in my own work.  The film’s title is taken from a phrase […]

New work from my Exeter studio.

I walked the estuary trail from Exeter to Exmouth (approx. 10 miles) leaving 101 paintings along the way.  Below is a selection of images from my journey.

I exhibited 4 prints at Galerie Metanoia, Paris where I received a GreatArt award on the opening night.

I had hoped to have posted about each of the pieces in the project individually but Christmas socialising, collecting work and struggles with photographic images saw my time just disappear this last week. So I have just put a gallery […]

I find it interesting how two ideas can become one. The sprayed and cockled slotted paper was headed for another collage but got hijacked by this. Probably not ready the first time (29/50) is one of my favourites in the […]

I have a history with black squares and with lines – hand drawn but not ruled, sometimes less straight than I could easily make them – and with photos of lines. I don’t have a history with clips of nails, […]

Just in case anyone is actually following my progress on this little 50 Collages Before Christmas project, I want to assure you that all is going fine. I have been steadily working on multiple pieces a the same time but […]

The quality of photographs for this project is mostly pretty poor and Mixing It With Maurice In The Morning, 23/50 Collages Before Christmas, is one of the worst. I haven’t got the time – or at present with collages in […]

The 14th piece in the project is “Did you mean that?” It features some of my favourite themes: a rook; black and white; a grid; and symbols. In this case the symbols are wingdings I set out on a grid. […]

I am getting confused. I know I published a post on this piece last night but it seems to have disappeared. Like the post on number 10 it will probably reappear and I will have a duplicate! There always comes […]

A bit of a different direction for “They Had No Right” number 11 of 50 Collages Before Christmas, although people familiar with my #Collage365 project would recognise the style and direction. The photograph bottom right is a detail from one […]

I have been busy with making more work and also jobs in the garden so I have been slacking when it comes to posting what I have done on this blog and my site. Number 10, Didn’t We Believe We Were […]

Offering No10 of 50 Collages Before Christmas Didn’t We Believe We Were Something?  is the piece mentioned in the last post about which I was undecided how to proceed. I decided to go with the easy it wanted to go […]
