IN THE BEGINNING.

Stage 1 of new sculpture. The core is this cube which is half brain and half cabbage.
Surprisingly I know what I’m doing.

THE TURNER PRIZE

The Turner Prize has been on the go since 1984. Like most innovations there comes a time when the sell-by-date is reached and something new is needed. It is very difficult for those involved to recognise this time.
With the blessing of the organisers of the alternative Turnip Prize I am in the process of creating [...]

PRICKING OUT

I pricked out my Blackberry bush a few weeks ago and it’s doing very well. I reckon I’ll be able to harvest it in a couple of weeks. I’ll call you when it’s ripe.
(Found objects, copper, cement and galvanised wire)

EXHIBIT NINE

For some now I’ve been trying to think of a way to integrate the virtual and the real world in a sculptural form. Eventually I came up with a solution.

This sculpture shows the inner workings of the Time and Relative Dimension in Space machine that Dr Who uses.
With the aid of Smart phone technology [...]

EXHIBIT EIGHT

Getting off to a cracking start in 2013 with this new creation in the ‘Thinking Inside the Box’ series.

The Gastrapoda Phoenix lays it’s single egg inside a cage just before it bursts into flames at which point the chick emerges almost immediately. After several weeks the chick’s legs are long enough for it to be [...]

I’M SURE YOU’LL BE RIVETED

Now I’m back in good old Blighty I’m looking forward to using my brand new pop riveter.
This is not a euphemism or an idle boast.
I’m actually going to start fixing stuff together to create objects that probably, going from past experience, will instigate a wonderful feeling of euphoric relaxation that will encourage sleep. However I [...]

MY THEMED LIFE

I’m sensing a theme.
This is the interior of my shed …

This is the top sheet of a pile of paper that I keep on my desk …

I’ve heard that doodles are meant to show the interior of your mind.
The word ‘mess’ comes to mind.
I’m sure that Lo, she is a terrible Goddess will agree.
Anyhoo, must [...]

INCY WINCY SPIDER CLIMBED UP THE WATER SPOUT …

… well, actually a spider plant climbed up onto the edge of the pond.
I’ve been cutting up tin cans and an old copper hot water cylinder adding some micro-bore pipe and an iron wheel that was found many years ago and then soldering them all together.
Lo, she is a terrible Goddess hasn’t seen this yet [...]

50 SHADES OF GREY!!!!

Making ‘stuff’ is really quite interesting.

This is made from 50 grey pebbles picked up from the beach at Pett Level. I had intended to wire them together and put the whole object into one of my wire boxes. This proved to be impossible. Lo, she is a terrible Goddess suggested gluing them onto cloth or [...]

THE ANGLE OF THE SOUTH

If you happen to be wandering down a public footpath that leads nowhere and that teeters on the edge of a cliff somewhere within sight of France and Dungeness Power Station and just out of sight of an official nudist beach, you might spy this …

There’s even an incisive and concise explanation …

This sculptural delight [...]
