Timber Mirror Walk 2013, plywood, acrylic mirror and hand printed felt. Timber Mirrors were carried from the gallery to a heritage site called the Cliffs of Moher. I chose this site because it acted as a backdrop of everything and nothing. The […]
I’m waiting on getting some alkathene, often used in the frame for poly tunnels along with heat shrink wrap plastic to get the light projecting into a dark space version of Bathe in ignorance to its next phase. Richard […]
For as long as I can remember I have observed and interacted with the world from a super sensory perspective. Once, after observing my behaviour and aesthetic for three years, my art school tutor told me I was sensual and […]
The little video I did back in April projecting a word through pinpricks onto a wall. I’m now back to considering the words I’m using to project. So I came by the words I’m using by photocopying a few pages […]

Within physical architectural spaces, and in this work Through, I have used light as a material that radiates outside of its boundaries and containers. I have playfully refracted light through the several outward facing windows of And Model Gallery in […]
A series of images investigating different types of light.
As we all try and combat the January blues (again), I find it a useful pick-me-up to reflect on the previous year hoping that it will serve up some interesting revelation. 2014 was a productive year for me; I entered […]
