My first, and possibly last, political sculpture – The Nanny State.
I’m continuing to work on The Toy Cupboard but I’m still short of soft toys. Perhaps I’ll be able to get some more when we visit Surfugal.
I’m very busy you know and the grass needs cutting!
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. [...]
My artistic work explores the relationship between the tyranny of ageing and multimedia experiences.
With influences as diverse as Derrida and Frida Kahlo, new combinations are crafted from both traditional and modern meanings.
Ever since I was a teenager I have been fascinated by the ephemeral nature of relationships. What starts out as triumph soon becomes corrupted [...]

Well, if Sean can stun the world by eating grass in an area 8 feet by 8 feet I thought I’d better do something on a much grander scale.
This is a scale model of Salisbury Plain complete with …
… an exact replica of Stonehinge.
[Don’t tell Sean you’ve already seen Stonehinge – I told him I [...]
The latest offering from the Daddy Papersurfer Sculpture Studio.
I love it when the plinth takes longer to make than the deep and meaningful piece of art that is displayed upon it.
This work makes wide sweeping comments about convenience food, modern packaging, the meaning and importance of intimate and loving relationships, the place of re-cycling in [...]
Now that I can cheerily swing a cat in the old shed I’ve been able to start on my next round of magnificent, meaningful and marvellous sculptures.
I present to you avid readers …. ‘STONE HINGE”.
Warning – this work of art needs watering.
May the shed of your dreams, in whatever form, lighten and brighten your weekend.

Following on from yesterday’s post – I’ve recovered from the bout of mildew I caught whilst being made to cavort in the garden BTW – the upside is that Lo, she is a terrible Goddess wants a sculpture made.
This one would have been very suitable …..
…… but no longer lives with us – and this [...]
…… it’s about time that new avid readers were exposed to one of my sculptures.
This magnificent ‘thing’ is called Punk Rockers ……. I do hope you can work it out for yourselves. Made from lead, galvanised nails and lumps of marble from Portugal that remind me of brains. I have no idea where this is [...]
…… for a whistle stop tour of the garden.
Well that didn’t take long did it ………
…….. and now another sculpture.
Hippy Chair – interesting but completely useless.
