This installation was a result of a sculpture class based around casting techniques (and therefore mould making). It consists of a recreation of my desk in which a number of items have been replaced by two part plaster moulds, concealing the now missing objects. Said objects were intended to remain anonymous, but as a result of an overly curious class the moulds were opened so as to reveal their negative doubles. It became almost a kind of memory game.

The following drawings were made during the couple of weeks between the conception and completion of the project. I guess they're my way of experimenting with the importance (or lack thereof) of different objects and their placement, both in my studio and in general.

Portraits.

I made these two drawings for a university assignment earlier in the year.

Happy 21st Birthday buddy!

Prototypes for Crayola Paint.

'Fire Hose Reels' colouring book.

Three finished copies of the book, 10 pages, 21cm x 14.8cm (limited run of 15 with 3 artist copies).

Fire Hose Reels is a book of 10 drawings, designed to be coloured in and/or graffitied on. The drawings were based on a collection of over 40 photos of fire hose reel cabinets in various states of decay (the majority of which are covered in graffiti). The books were created as a sort of prelude/lead up to a larger sculptural project which is still in the process of being created.

Trial Installation for Shame About That Fucking Exit.

 2012. Exit sign, power point/socket cover, fork, plaster. Dimensions variable.

This is documentation of a short lived trial installation I made for a project revolving around the idea of creating/inserting an emergency exit where one did not previously exist. Hopefully I'll get an opportunity to work on this project further in the coming months.
