Radial ONE / a commission for a new house in Wiltshire
I’ve been working on a new commission for a contemporary home in Wiltshire recently, organised by the ever fabulous Jess Lloyd Smith at Modern Art Buyer in Bath.
She recommended the work to her clients who commissioned this laser cut edition at 100cm diameter, to hang in their beautifully designed open plan dining space, located centrally above the table.
Patreon Experimental Print Club, edition #3 posted
After a surprisingly complex assembly process, the 3rd piece for my Patreon Experimental Print Club was editioned on the Winter Solstice and sent out to my Print Club members shortly after. Entitled R2 / helios helianthus, it’s the 3rd piece that I’ve made exclusively for my Print Club members.
Laser cutting R2 at Bristol Design Forge
I spent a fascinating afternoon at Bristol Design Forge yesterday, making an initial test cut on a pair of metallic Lambda prints, working towards completing the 3rd edition for my Experimental Print Club.
In essence, the laser cutting technology allows for incredibly fine cutting of the photographic paper, which I've then reassembled onto a thin sheet of metallic gold card.
Radial / TWO / helios helianthus / Second edition / Patreon Experimental Print Club
To complement the concept behind Bloom, I've started work on this new piece, reinterpreting my Radial / TWO geometry as a work on paper, that will see it recoloured, laser cut, and interlaced with a sheet of gold foil. These two components will then be applied to a backing sheet of handmade paper, debossed, and will hopefully form an intriguing new study, that will radiate a little late season sunshine this Autumn. That's the plan anyway.
Hampstead AAF 2016

Last chance to see a great mixed summer show at the Coombe Gallery, Dartmouth. Gallery director Mark Riley has selected works for a group exhibition featuring new work by Clark Nicol, Sir Peter Blake, Karen Nicol, Connor Ragus, Dominic Vonbern, Iva Troj and Rosie Sanders alongside seven or eight of my own recent pieces.
The Childhood Eye Cancer Trust Auction
A great opportunity to bid on a unique studio proof of Radial 3, in aid of The Childhood Eye Cancer Trust.
Varnishing Day, RWA Open 2013
I misunderstood the invitation for the RWA’s annual ‘Varnishing Day’ lunch, so sadly missed the artist’s lunch and preview. Made it in with the locals for the opening though. Really pleased to find my work ‘Radial / THREE / pearlescent’ hanging in the main gallery, just across from Anna Gillespie’s fabulous small bronze ‘The Ghost of Summer’.
