We have been working up at the old High St Annexe and found these fantastic scale models of Ipswich town centre circa 1960, these are some drawings of these beautiful models. Felt Tip on paper.
These are some new images I have been working with, looking at found postcards and manipulating them by college and cutting. I am thinking about how to interfere with the surface of the image, whilst maintaining its integrity as a 2 dimensional object.
Thank you to Matthew Rose and the Emily Harvey Foundation Gallery, the Book about death private view looked really exciting when it was broadcast live on the internet last night. To watch excerpts from the live webcast click here
Puffin and star . Puffin and moustache. Grrrrrfalcon (iceland) and star. Pink and falcon. Twinned Jephson Gardens, Leamington Spa. Twinned Jephson Mausoleum, Leamington Spa.
This is new work based on my travels to Iceland and Leamington Spa, I realise that these two places are at extremes of the tourist spectrum, but I am engaged with the juxtaposition this creates.
In my work I try to make the ordinary extra-ordinary, using imagery that some may find difficult, and quietly communicating this immensity. I am particularly intrested in the idea of the sublime.
