I suppose this is a Sculpture/Photograph? On second thoughts - an installations. It represents someone I know who had a hard time and always (probably) felt rather square and inadequate (this is made of a square piece of plastic). Rather than developing her many good qualities she but has spent her whole life twisting and contorting herself to look more interesting (and had the misfortune of being pretty enough for men to tell her what she a wanted to hear) - but still can only create a mask of enjoyment and 'I'm okay'.. But she still remains superficial - plastic even - as this is - with only the mask of true feelings - as one who only believes what she wants to hear. Under scrutiny (here the bright light of the Sun) the shadows of the truth are all too obvious. That's pretty girl syndrome for you. To those that care for her she remains a contorted mask of an okay person, casting shadows - but with no substance - until she has to try properly like all us 'normal folk' have to. Untwist yourself...be true to yourself....cast off the mask. You're okay being yourself...will she listen?....we live in hope...until she does. Also hints of the two heads of Janus?....Discuss...Anyway......The piece is about 1m square, but is more for an image as it is flimsy and be twisted around and benefits from casting shadows...hence me photographing it, and not sure what 'type' of art it is! ...nor whether I can sell the original (maybe I could if I was famous.....). I was making a pond for someone and just had the idea of twisting the plastic bit I cut off around into this - a plastic face made from square piece of plastic - marvellous.....! Sun casts shadows of what's going on underneath, behind the mask-like face. Simple idea - nice...Is it art?

A chum 'borrowed me' to practice his photography - so here are some images. ........ A hobby became - rather surprisingly another occupation, after I went part-time from my consultant psychiatrist job and devoted more time to THIS . As I worked in a 'proper job' 2 days a week my ability to do exhibitions is limited, but have stuff up locally around Cheltenham in bars and offices. Mainly self-taught, but I go to classes at the excellent and very jolly Cheltenham Fine Art (CFA) School (recommended). No nonsense artist - paints etc because fun and people like my stuff. Hate 'esoteric/enigmatic' types. Anyone can shoot me if I ever say 'my art challenges perceptions' etc. Work from home studio 'Helios House' (silly but I like it name). Have painting on 4 continents, so feel slightly international. Sell via this website and word of mouth, but like many have to eat baked beans and do odd jobs to supplement income. Just thought I'd put stuff on this sight to see if I can eat less of the beans! Comments and requests always welcome (as long as constructive criticism!). Toodle Pip!
