Just a little taster of what i have been up to recently..expanding on my theme of systems we are part of both materially and emotionally, organically & mechanically!
A helpful tip: when presenting your work to a new gallery..Find a charity shop and old picture frame and buy some nice fabric of your choosing, (depending on your work) and show it off!
..And boxes that you can easily personalise :)
Decks on decks! My brother gave me his old decks to my decks on!! situated in the corner, nicely tucked away but accessible.
My new jewellery bench / workshop space for making and creating. Its great how you can use small spaces with the right furniture.
Above is my new pickle bath for cleaning the metal! Its actually a fondue set used for melting cheese. You pop a dash of methylated spirit as seen to the left in the bottom and light with a match (much safer)
You can control the flame in stages by turning the little metal leaver to the left or right and this controls the oxygen to the flame. Great little burner and no electric!
Above is the start of 'Floraganical' A creation playing on this concept of what we are born into. The organism in nature.
Welcome to a recent addition 'Infusion' created whilst exploring a jewellery project called systematical design.
This is 'Landwich' a work in progress here but you can see how it progresses as it goes along.
You can view the painting from 2 differing perceptions, as above so below concept. Origianl scaled down image above.
So this was part of a creative venture into exploring how we can use found / thrown away objects and use them in jewellery.
I used a few techniques in my quest to re-invent the ring pull..here i am doing a claw setting.
So here was the first finessed collection from my youve pulled range..this was using a bezel setting.
Some recent articles I have added to this collection, this time involving the luminous tube.
I was connecting this body of work up to my current body of work called systematical design, where I am thinking about how we interact with the reality around us and how we use energy. The luminous tube being the representation for free energy.
This was my space at Bury, I used it as an exhibition - gallery space.
Ol skool dayz of sticking chewing gum to the underside of your table.. Never thought id find myself revisiting this!
I found these tables at a market in called little camden..such an amazing little find.
Tools for decoupage, underground system of london wrapping paper, 1 x pot of modge podge! some brushes and something for the floor! away i go!

When we finally arrived at test town and I found out which unit I was using! Needed a little TLC
After the Before shot!

Display on back wall. There is going to be a painting in said square..!
LED lights glowing a bit blue! ended up looking like an underwater scene.
