Work in progress- here are some images of a sculpture I have started work on. Having worked solidly on drawings and box pieces for last couple of years this has been a nice change. The plan with this piece is to work in a pretty improvised way, adding to the construction day by day until it feels like I should stop. I'll try to keep you posted as it progresses...

Here are some photos of Group Hug, the show I organised back in August. Sorry its taken so long to post them...

Made in Britain just got a nice review in Amelia's Magazine, follow this link to see it...http://www.ameliasmagazine.com/art/made-in-britain-art-exhibition-london-miles-gallery/2010/09/15/

This is the piece currently on show at London Miles Gallery Made in Britain exhibition. It is called Just what is it that makes today's homes so depraved, so appalling?

I am presently working on a new piece for Made in Britain, a group show taking place at London miles gallery on September 10th. The exhibition aims to explore national identity and British iconography, my piece will be a re-working of Richard Hamilton's classic Pop collage Just what is it that makes todays homes so different, so appealing?

Group Hug

I am proud to announce that Group Hug, an exhibition by eight Maidstone based artists will open at Maidstone Library Gallery from 5th August 2010. The exhibtion will run until 28th August and includes work by Dean Beattie, Adam Lawrence, Jack Lawrence, Dominic Russell, Rob Staerck, Laura Thomas, Sarah Whitbread and myself.

The private view will be from 6pm-8pm with an aftershow party taking place at the nearby Mumu Bar.

This one is called 'Opening', it didn't make it into the show

I presently have a piece of artwork 'John' in a group show called Miniscule at the Oblong Gallery in London. As the title suggests all the work on show is very small - with 2 x 1.5 inches being the maximum size allowed. The exhibition was curated by Jim Racine and Vanya Balogh and runs until 27th June at Oblong Gallery, 69A Southgate Road, London N1 3JS

You rarely get to see the caring side of a Sith Lord,

this is Darth trying to comfort my son Sam - a touching moment!

The school I work at was closed for two days recently because of heavy snow. I took the opportunity to build a snow castle with my kids Grace and Sam. It was actaully less of a castle and more of a wall, but we had a lot of fun making it...

Trying to get back into making work after the christmas break, not easy. I did this drawing in an attempt to figure out how to extend the cut out piece 'Outpost'.
