The final outcome of my wall with crepidotus mollis mushrooms.

Timber, Mdf, Paint, Plaster, Newplast and Oil Paint

More book sculptures, seeing how it works without paintings and stages of growth in mushrooms.

Otherworlds exhibition, just some photos of the work I put in. All plasticine sculptures that are painted with oil or acrylic.

I’m involved in a project called “No Working Title”. The project is to contact another chosen student from a different university and instruct them to make a piece of work. I decided to send my instructions in a book through post.

Again made in September, playing around with miniature people at a mushroom bus stop.

Handmade replicas of fruit using plasticine, wire and oil paint

Just some experiments with sculptures in books.

Sculptures are made using plasticine and wire that are then finished with oil paint.

Sculpture testing out oil paint.

Just test shots before I photograph them in natural landscapes.

I am currently studying fine art at Bath Spa.

So far my work is concerned with blurring the boundary between the real and surreal focusing on natural landscapes. I use a combination of real locations and sculptures that are adapted to create a new environment. These landscapes are exaggerated to take the form of microcosmic worlds exploring the possibility of miniature life forms. It is the abscence of fantastical creatures that considers what is real or artificial. In looking at photographs of these worlds they include indications that the authenticity is questionable and therefore the viewer is further distanced from reality.
My recent work still takes inspiration from fairytales but it has become a consideration between fact and fiction where trickery comes into play. It is important to subvert expectations and create a new outlook on something familiar.

All my sculptures are made using a combination of plasticine, wire, mdf, man made and found elements. This is finished with acrylic or oil paint.
