Love you Steve.

Security Blanket

A lot of my work revolves around Nostalgia and Sentimentality.
This piece is a security blanket, reminiscent of the sort of blanket a child might have, only this one is made up of pieces of fabric given to me by friends and family, the root of security.

We had an Exhibition!

So my Foundation degree class mates and myself held an exhibition at Norden Farm in Maidenhead, all very exciting really...a proper exhibition...in a proper exhibition space!!!
Well people came along...you cant ask for more than that can you!

R.I.P STEVE
Steve was a vintage bear I bought from eBay. I wanted to give him a home and restore some of his sentimental value.
But Steve was falling apart at the seams as he was so old so I decided to do something special for him, to preserve his value. He became art, I dipped him in slip clay and fired him in a kiln, much to the horror of those who had become friendly with Steve, and now he is gone, all that remains is this fragile cast of an unwanted bear.
Someone got creative!!

Fallen dreams out of the sky
Like stars
Found
Collected in a bucket
Like seashells
Kept
