Framed Barrier

A couple of years ago I kept passing a set of road barriers in Brighton which just seemed amazing. There were dozens of them blocking a small lane between the houses. I kept putting off photographing them but eventually set myself a task of doing it. When I arrived the road workers were just beginning to take the barriers down. Almost fate really that if I had left it a few hours more they would have been gone completely. This piece is trying to contain the barriers in a space which is then expanding upon itself, a kind of barrier within a barrier.  Negative space contained within the centre of the structure as a kind of window within the framework.

Pink Candlestick Glasses

A year or so old now but this is part of a series of glasses pieces.

Fuselage

pink satellite candlestick

Structure within a structure. Like a growth on a tree which then becomes a part of the tree. The form is dictated by the structure and vise versa.

Pudding box

A multiple which is constrained by the perimetre of the box. Each one fits into the box. I made this over the Christmas period last year and iontended to post it just before the recent Christmas but never got round to it. I have had lots of thoughts recently about the way that things fit into other things. We seem to coordinate our lives by cramming one thing into another. I like the idea of a travelling sculpture that fits neatly into a suitcase. Considering making sets of sculptures that fit into such things as rucksacks.

Willow Pattern Saucer

Small personal possessions that used to be my mother's property when she was alive. The saucer was broken by a seagull who we were feeding who got impatient for us to bring some more food and threw the saucer on the floor off a garden table.

Pixelated face glasses

Trying to think about the ways that we view ourselves. The pieces stuck on the glasses are made up from a picture of David Beckham's butt.
