In recent work I have been using a plethora of techniques and materials to make paintings, drawings, sculpture and installations. The sculptures and installations fuse the natural such as stone, wood and shell with the manmade and often kitsch elements of plastic, ornaments and beads. The paintings and drawings use oil, acrylic and enamel paint alongside resin and glitter
This series ‘Loughborough Junction Pigeons’ is part of my work that
explores the surreal world of inner city life where the organic and manufactured have reconfigured and merged into each other. The images appear to have evolved disregarding the laws of nature to adapt to the urban consumer lead society.
