Occupied

Lecture Theatre 
These shots are taken from my first exhibition 'Occupied' back in June 2005. A series of Architectural sculptures exploring the way humans inhabit the space in everyday situations. 

It explores how built environments and their users interact; how 
physical structures influence the human character and action. 
It considers proximity and juxtaposition; pattern and rhythm; 
acceptability and placement. It reveals how our built 
environments are never just visible spaces; they are always 
overlaid with invisible meanings. 
As Winston Churchill said “We shape our buildings and 
afterwards our buildings shape us.”

In the Autumn of 2006, I joined Andy and Corrado in a collaborative show entitled 'Escaping space' at Chelsea Future space. Follow the links for more info.

Rings


So here is my first set of rings that I have made, to join the bangles, forming my first jewellery collection. They are made from Wenge with a thin Oak inner ring. The bangles are nearly done and I am making a small set of mens rings as well. I will keep you posted when all is complete.

Heels for Helen


I was asked to create wooden heels for Central St Martins MA Fashion Design student Helen Bullock. The first heels made were very precise, straight edged blocks. I then made some from old and weathered wood. They went for the second set and the results can be seen at....

Some love in the workshop.
