And for a Christmas treat, a sneaky peak at a new piece from the Exquisite Corpse body of work.

Here are the first four of the meat and mountains series…

Last week I worked with Kate MccGwire and a wonderful team to create and install a large sculptural piece called “Gyre”, at All Visual Arts for the solo show Lure.
Immersed in black feathers for the duration, I became hypnotised by the piece. And I felt honoured to have been a part of something so utterly fantastic!
Working with the lovely Bea Haines at the Royal Academy Etching Studio.
I was lucky enough to go to the Private View of Mark Hampson’s show at the Royal Academy ‘Almost Real Art’. It was a wonderful evening, full of wonderful people and the work was inspiring. I feel very proud to have been taught by Mark, and to know him now as a colleague at the RA.
The show is on at the Tennant Gallery in the RA and continues until 17th Feb.
Editioning some new work as part of the Meat and Mountains body. Lovely Carmine inky fingers.
Feeling Fellow-y today! Back in the wonderful print room at City and Guilds Art School! Oil up those presses! Bring on the students! Lets make some Etchings!
Last week I was offered a very wonderful job. I am now the Fellow at the Royal Academy Schools. You will find me in the print department!
A snap from Weds 5th Sept where I worked as Art Director on a fashion shoot. Got to work with some beautiful people and even more beautiful taxidermy birdies.
Oesophagus, Lungs, Heart, Liver. Working with gorgeous organs for a new sculpture.
Head down to the Bankside Gallery between now and 2nd September and you can see my Etching ‘Leda’.
Currently in the studio working on a new etching… Large steel plate etching with gold leaf chine colle, very much work in progress, but exciting never-the-less.
I have been selected to exhibit ‘Leda’ at the RE:Open from 17th August - 2nd September at the Bankside Gallery, London. Here is a sneaky peak of the work being proofed in the studio. 'Leda’ is a very very big screen resist etching. More details to come soon…
The music promo I directed in Jan has finally been released. Enjoy.
My Baby’s just a Baby ~ Knickers.
These past few weeks have been very busy! Two big exhibitions and then directing and shooting a music promo for the band Strangefruit. Exciting times indeed. It was an honour to work with such a fantastic crew: Matthew Oaten DoP, Olivia Hicks Art Director and the majestic Zoe Simon - an actress I’ve been wanting to collaborate with for a long time.
The promo for Strangefruit’s wonderfully haunting song ‘Sea of Fog’ will be out of post production before too long. So stay tuned for its release. In the meantime, here are some photographs of me directing/dictating (its all in the finger point)!
365 Days of Vomiting (close up), Etching Installation at ‘A Place Called Home Exhibition, Clearlake Hotel, London. 26th April 2012.
365 Days of Vomiting, Etching Installation at ‘A Place Called Home Exhibition, Clearlake Hotel, London. 26th April 2012.
A PLACE CALLED HOME.
Last night, in a mock victorian, seedy hotel in Kensington, a wonderful event took place. Rented by the hour returned to Clearlake Hotel for the second time. Five contemporary artists; Olivia Hicks, Beatrice Haines, Laura Clarke, Luke Rodilosso and James Winter came together to produce psychosocial responses to the space. The rooms were no longer hotel rooms, but a home from home, usually only occupied for a short period by an endless stream of different people, but in this private space at a particular moment in time a multitude of stories were told, both real and imagined.
Thank you to everyone who came last night. It was a great success.
