Small Works, Multiples, Objects and Editions 

I have a limited number of small works and multiples that are available to purchase directly from my studio > Online shop coming soon..... but in the meantime please get in contact for sales via the form below.

Spiders From Mars - 'Squiddy'​
​

Pleased to offer this new work in my Spiders From Mars series as part of the brilliant #artistsupportpledge. Concrete cast relief sculpture presented in a white painted tray frame 28x28x4cm > Edition of 8 @ £200 + p&p (7 available)

​A new series of relief sculptures made from a collection of spider plant off-shoots which I grew during lockdown in 2020. For this piece I first made a plaster original cast by directly imprinting the rooting houseplant into clay before producing a silicone mould to cast a limited edition in concrete.

The familiar but subverted domestic organism acts as a window into an upside-down world where the root systems and fragile specimen like aesthetics appear almost alien form. I'd also recently rewatched the 1999 Matrix film and this reminded me of the 'squiddy'  Sentinels.

Corrugated Column Lamps 


Concrete column lamp bases, cast concrete made in crumpled cardboard moulds using the corrugated packaging and delivery materials in my studio - which makes each lamp base unique.

Lamp bases are available now, made to order in 5 different heights > 10cm @ £45 / 15cm @ £55 / 20cm @ £65 / 25cm @ £75 / 30cm @ £85 or available as sets and multiples. UK postage is an additional £10-15. Each lamp base has a standard E27 screw thread lamp head, woven cord (red or black), switch and plug. The electrics are purchased as a pre made kit and simply installed into the base - so no home made wiring!

Bulbs are not included - recommend a low watt / diffused bulb The concrete is sealed, with a polished top and the base has a thin layer of felt protection. 

Spiders From Mars​

A new series of relief wall sculptures made from a collection of spider plant off-shoots which I grew during lockdown in 2020. Pictured below are the 12 remaining works available from this series of 20.
Each work in this series is unique, cast in plaster by directly imprinting the young rooting houseplants into clay to make the mould, which is then cast in plaster, and framed in a bespoke Jesmonite clay cast frame. The circular forms show a window into an upside-down world where the root systems and fragile specimen like aesthetics appear almost as alien forms. For me, messing around with plants in my flat was an important lockdown wellbeing distraction and much needed escapism from the covid and political horrors that have unravelled this year. Spending some quiet time focussing on hands-on and low-budget making in an attempt to process everything seems important right now. Each work is 32cm in diameter x 4cm depth, complete with a wall hanging bracket and a spider plant £250 + p&p

​24 Carat Gold Leaf sculptural multiple of a Birdseye fish finger cast in Jesmonite. One of a series of small works made on my kitchen table during lockdown 2020.

Data Blocks


​An ongoing series of small individual #concrete relief cast multiples, finished in white #Jesmonite tray frames (ready to hang on a wall).

The texture and surface detail of each piece is formed by casting concrete directly onto a discarded floppy disk making each one unique. The content data of the obsolete disk will always remain a mystery, but the concrete picks up a trace of the labels, hints of pen marks and sometimes even finger prints of the previous user from the plastic facade.

Individual framed works are available for £75 including U.K. P&P. dimensions 12 x 12 x 3cm
