Coming to SLAMstudio Stitch, You Bitch is a collaborative exhibition between myself and fellow artist Thalia Sadumiano. The show features old and new works we’ve created independently and as a collaboration. The show runs between the 4th and 25th of FEBRUARY.

The works shown here are a study of the two photographs I took that day. Drawn in pastel on A4 drawing...

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...

Chair was a work that explored the ready-made as a sculptural medium. Using segmented second-hand chairs I explored the spacial relationship between two objects, the chair and the plinth. By sawing and dissecting the chair I removed it’s stability and strength creating a useless object. This work appeared to fuse with the plinth, becoming a single entity reaching out into the space. Chair featured in a group show called Re-present at COFA Space,...
