Here are some shots of my latest work. Let me know what you think...

More work from the 90's

Installation - 1998

Palimpsest - 1992

paper etc prepared for writing on and wiping out again, like a slate- 1706 OED

a 5m x 4m hanging from bamboo of handmade paper from old sketch books...hence the title

with corresponding slate floor piece which changed format daily in response to the light and mood of the day.

SHADOW INSTALLATION in collaboration with composer - Pedro Rebelo 1997 - Dartington.
The artist and musician responded to/with each other . The music dictating the line dictating the music. The four walls of the room were lined with paper and the musician followed the artist around the room whilst the audience sat in the middle and turned themselves accordingly. After a period of two hours the drawing was taken off the wall and the audience tore off pieces of the drawing as a "visual" recording of the piece of music.

Table top - 1993 My most successful (or possibly Unsuccessful) "table top" was described by the owners as a "conversation stopper" for the guests who were totally bemused by sitting to eat on a "painting"..............

Work from the 90's

A chair project - mid 90's

A lovely project whereby some thirty Suffolk artists were asked to make a peice of work in response to the Chair that they were given. (I think all the chairs were collected from an old school)

I was still responding to "spider" tissue cracks/fissures/wrinkles when I did this piece.

2 black and white drawings - mid 90's

Installation 1997

Work from the edge gallery - mid 90's
This was a piece of work made on "spider" tissue backed onto gauze. I love the idea of "spider" tissue...something so delicate and working with line (as in web)..and this piece was the depiction of a furrow in a field,crack in a pavement, wrinkle on a hand, fracture in a wall..the infinitessimal groove in the long straight road..linking yet dividing...
