The Wooden Wave
Small wooden kinetik maquette
An exploration into how a rigid material can
obtain a dynamic flow.
I am fascinated by the Victorian ideals of the
imagined future and the tireless energy to shrug
off dogma and achieve and overcome the
impossible.
I share the fascination for mechanisms and find
beauty in locomotion, linkages and how materials
relate to each other. |
The Singing Bush
Kinetik sculpture - mixed media
The Singing Bush was inspired by my
experiments whilst helping Festive Road Carnival
Company and their work on the ‘Brewing Up’
Olympic Inspire mark awarded project.
I was asked to create a huge musical kettle,
able to be played by a percussionist during their
performances.
The singing bush is the first in a line of kinetik
instruments I am working on, able to be played
by humans, animals and the elements. |
The Dreams of a Generation
This small installation piece was created for my E17 Art Trail open studio event in 2010. The premise is that a hideous rocket of bad taste and musical banality, forged in the mediocrity of Simon Cowels luke warm ora has landed on an already beleaguered music scene and with its tedious banality has driven the hard edge rock and roll dreams to wither in despair.
The sculpture features a melting Stratocaster guitar gutted by a V2 style rocket. Only leaving the rocket motor section visible. Out of this horn of impending dome come the sounds of a ticking timer and the faint sounds of endless X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent auditions playing back for eternity.
