 ‘Bully’ (2016)

Dimensions 45cm x 23cm x 34cm

Multimedia automaton

Made with resin, jelly wax, steel, grey polished concrete, red LED lighting and electronic mechanism.

‘Bully’ is an autobiographical piece, which looks at the tension at the point of contact that split second when the nipple and the finger come into contact and the unease of this situation. At first glance this piece is humorous, but the longer you look, and see what is happening you become increasingly aware of what is unfolding in front of your eyes. The setting for this work is also very clinical with a red glow which makes the work look like an incubator of some sort adding to the overall feeling of unease.

‘Lazy Susan Boring’ (2017)

Kinetic sculpture

Made from: Sticker wood, motors, circuitry and a bubble machine

This sculpture can be interpreted in many ways. My intension was to create a work that looked celestial in nature a planet orbiting a sun, Gravity underpins our existence from the smallest molecules and particles all the way up to planets. I wanted to harness this thought by producing a work which visually represented this but also takes influence from industrial architecture, within the shapes I chose to use and Alexander McQueen No.13 Collection from 1999. The bubbles represent us as individuals we have a fleeting existence in this would but we all leave marks behind in many ways and even the most insignificant of acts can cause massive impacts.

‘Must be jelly cause jam don’t shake’ (2017)

60cm x 60cm x 20cm

Sculpture and video

Made using: Vegetarian gelatine, honey, glycerine, food colouring, water, TV screen, aluminium sheeting.

A playful tongue in cheek piece exploring sex. The jelly is edible so could be eaten this allures to the act of rimming or ‘eating ass’. The name of the work is taken from a lyric from the song ‘peanut butter’ by RuPaul a legendary drag queen, with this work the intention is to push myself and really work with the materiality of a simple substance like jelly. Lust and sass were two other emotions I channelled within this work. 

‘Big Bertha’ (2017)

0.6m X 2.4m x 1.8m

Kinetic Sculpture

Made from: Sheet steel, lead weight, window wiper motors, electronics, 12v battery, bubble machine and pink spray paint.

This sculpture can be interpreted in many ways. The name of the work has been taken from a character in Futurama, but it also means the largest object in its class. My intension was to create a work that looked industrial but symbolised a planet orbiting a sun, Gravity underpins our existence from the smallest molecules and particles all the way up to planets. I wanted to harness this thought by producing a work which visually represented this but also takes influence from industrial architecture, within the shapes I chose to use and Alexander McQueen No.13 Collection from 1999. The bubbles represent us as individuals as we are fleeting moments in time, but we all leave marks behind in many ways and even the most insignificant of acts can cause massive impacts.
