With the COFA Graduation Show opening night over, here are the final images of In Loving Memory. I’ve also included in this post the nine images I used for the installation. Apart from the lack of lighting, I was happy with the finished presentation of my work. The Grad Show had a huge turn out and it was good to see the works of my fellow peer’s and friend’s finished and installed. Special thanks to my photographer, David...

The images are skewed by the hair, similar to the way that the camouflages or disguises we personify influence how we are viewed by others. Untitled (Skins) featured in Watch This Space, at Kudos Gallery,...

I perforated the copper repetitively with a drill creating hundreds of holes, thus changing the texture and stability of it’s surface, before using a chemical fluid to darken it. The aim of the work as to create a reflection of the copper on the surface of the...
