Pictures for Walls
some wooden panels and canvases inspired by a long trip on the road.
Created for Bassline Circus, The Round House (Camden) and
Centre de Cultura Contemporania de Barcelona.
Owl with spanner legs welded to a pole.
I made this owl after finding some rusting steel on wasteland. I welded him to a pole to keep an eye on the place. I never returned and never saw the owl again.
Cut-outs for the Random Artists Dolls House installation, originally created for The National Gallery of Prague.
The installation also did a UK tour of TAA events.
In keeping with the temporary and random nature of TAA, I didn’t quite know what my contribution to this event would be. Wall space and time was rapidly running out when I spotted an old clock in the corner.
Having previously made a miniature Clockhead for the TAA Dolls house, it seemed just right to create a large version for the TAA warehouse.
Once upon a time old-school TVs littered the streets of London. With omnipresent marker pen in pocket and Evil Edna on my mind I could never resist them.
The photograph showing three televisions has been included in ‘Savage Messiah’ by Laura Oldfield-Ford, published by Verso books (2011).
