I do my best, I’m up for the new
I’ve even made sculptures with elephant poo
I’ve climbed up a hill clutching some brie
To see if I could manage to get down to the sea
And with abacus, ink and a very large hook
I’ve even attempted to write a great book
None of it’s worked or been a success
So [...]
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.

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 [...]
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 [...]
What a heady combination! The creative and gastric juices flowing all over the place. Avid readers, I bring you ……..
….. The House of Gingernuts!!!!
Now the shed is operational, goodness only knows what could happen. I just know you’re as excited as I am.
Have a lovely weekend …… and let the farce be with you to [...]
The shed is fitted and ready to go ………
………. and I’ve wasted no time.
Within seconds of fitting the final shelf I created this …….
…….. which was created within seconds.
“Dancing to a Different Tuna” questions so many aspects of modern life I don’t know where to begin …….. so I won’t. It could also send the [...]
The front garden at the Cliff Top Residence needs a makeover – I want it to demonstrate to the neighbourhood that I’m not a country bumpkin and that I have excellent taste.
I reckon this little chap should do the trick.
I suspect however that Lo, she is a terrible Goddess might have other ideas……..
