Play time is serious business. Balance in our existence is increasingly hard to come by, bombarded as we are with news of disasters and dangers near and far, made to fear through daily doses of worse case headlines and threatened with seemingly imminent catastrophe - financial, environmental, or political. The world and all its foibles are at our doorstep. But also, the world and its glories are there too. The more we are threatened, the more we need to play. We always have. It's how we are ...

The sculpture exhibition Altissimo is inspired by Mount Altissimo in Pietrasanta, Italy. Pietrasanta has been home to quarries that have been excavating marble since the height of Roman Civilization. All the Statuario Marble used in the exhibition was quarried from Altissimo, which is also referred to as "Michelangelo's Mountain".

The exhibition consists of marble sculptures that depict interpretations of different fabrics in stone. T-shirts, handkerchiefs, pillowcases and socks are c ...

tangle
in praise of chaos and light

When the child was a child...
It had a precise picture of paradise
And now can only vaguely conceive of it at best
It couldn't imagine nothingness
And today shudders in the face of it (1)

i wanted these landscapes to be intimate, more abstract, replete, substantive, tactile, suffused with surface texture, pattern, mark-making, colour and form; evocative, conjuring memories of bein ...

The Future Reliquary Series

The Future Reliquary Series deals with three apparently separate but, in my mind, connected histories: weaving, computing, and religion.

Weaving is a binary system of up/down, just as computing is a binary system of on/off. The first computer was a Jacquard loom, complete with punch cards instructing the loom to raise or lower warp threads depending on the position of the holes in the cards. Weaving was now one step removed from the ...

The influences for this show originated from my own experiences and observations as an only child growing up in a household affected by war.

At age 14, my mother started working in a munitions factory in Croydon London, an area that was constantly bombed during the Blitz in 1940. My father became an anti-aircraft gunner in the navy at 17, travelling on convoys in the Atlantic in 1944. My grandfather enlisted at 16, fighting first in Palestine and then in France during WW1. They were just ...

These paintings are of popular images photographed from movies I have watched on T.V. over an extended period of time. The medium of television allows us to perceive ourselves to be something we are not, hence "The Lie That Tells The Truth".

"The Abstraction of The Everyday" is a series of photographs, the subject of which is the discarded, broken, battered and bent.

Layer upon layer of stories told, through graffiti, markings, and scratches upon every surface imaginable - each effecting the next, like layers of oil paint upon an artist's canvas.

The work is raw and is captured on film just as I found it, I do not physically interrupt the flow of the subject , nor do I manipulate the imagery through anything but the ...

Beginning in 2008 I wanted to direct my paintings back to working with florals that I had been developing for many years until 2005 when I ventured into the very figurative Western Journey show. This time I wanted to find a much more contemporary way of expressing my ideas. In my search I began to carve some very simple images into rubber using black ink over acrylic color and found the outcome very bold and graphic. With more experimentation I found I was able to e ...
