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.

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.

AN ODE
What would you do in an eight foot square?
Wear top hat and tails? – trés debonair
Or wobble about and get bad mal de mer?
Or perhaps cut your hair in a large barber’s chair?
There might be the sight of a huge grizzly bear
Or a model in gold of a [...]

SECRET REVEALED!

For one afternoon only I will be stripped naked for all to see on the Stade in Hastings. I hope it isn’t going to be chilly.
As an added incentive I will be revealing my [...]

EXHIBIT SIX

WELLINGTONIUS MUCHMUNCHA
The Wellingtonius Muchmuncha, commonly known as the Ankle Biter, feeds exclusively on wellington boots.
This charming and cuddly creature makes an ideal pet if looked after properly. However, as we all know, it must only be fed one wellington boot a day. If overfed he/she grows enormous teeth which can cut through wire and then [...]

EXHIBIT FOUR

Hastings has no idea what’s coming it’s way in August.
