About The Artwork

This is part of a series on modern vices; although most vices seem to be consistent throughout the ages :-) This is a burger box, together with fries/chips. The colours are intentionally bright, even garish or bilious. The tray is a symbol of our instant, isolated, fast food existence. When you eat off a tray, you know you aren’t at home with your family. You have queued at a bright serving station, manned by low-paid staff who produce production line food. You will sit on a plastic chair that is bolted to the floor, and your dining experience will take no more than ten minutes. Burgers and fries are the epitome of junk food. While many of us enjoy an occasional burger, it is ubiquitous; and the discarded wrappers litter the streets of some cities. This box is 3D printed and has clay fries. It is then mounted on to a cafeteria tray, and then on to the acrylic glass of a picture frame. Note that the final version my vary slightly. Each is produced and mounted by hand, which means no two are alike. This version is a bright green box on an orange tray. It is ready to hang; there is a metal hanger on the back of the frame. It will brighten your chosen room and be a conversation piece. The sculpture is unusual because the box and fries seem to be suspended - hanging in the air. They look as though they should have fallen off by now. They're defying gravity.

I've always done creative work, mostly to do with marketing and words. In fact I was offered an interview as a copywriter with Saatchi and Saatchi, the advertising agency, and progenitor of Saatchi Art, many years ago. I said no. I didn't feel I was good enough. That was foolish. On this site I've put a pretty disparate range of work. But there are some common threads: - Ugly Modern Phrases: My posters are a gentle critique of salesy language. They presumably come from my marketing and writing background. - 3D Sculpture: Recently I got into 3D printing, which allows me to produce sculptures using modern technology; and that's a lot of fun. - Missing People: My 'Missing People' project involves empty sheets from dead people's photo albums. It's not as gruesome as it sounds. Rather, it's wistful. All that's left of them are the captions - the words they wrote so many years ago. And meanwhile, I've got plans to do.... Art videos I'm working on art videos, based around vox pop conversations. We get to hear ordinary people arguing and shouting.
