ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I have a responsibility to witness the demise of certain animal species. The polar bear is an iconic symbol of how animals are having their habitats systematically destroyed by an out of control capitalist system. Trying to find materials rather than causing more demand 'Polar bear' is made from either found or recycled materials and objects, a printed circuit and eroded metal retrieved from the foreshore here in Penzance, the plastic bear from Ebay. I hope that this assemblage might help to remind us of our part in the cycled of demand and supply that threatens life on this planet. The objects and materials used for 'Polar bear had been in my studio for some time until they found themselves joined together. There is a hole in the rear which can be used to hang this piece.

SHIPPING AND RETURNS
Delivery Time:

Typically 5-7 business days for domestic shipments, 10-14 business days for international shipments.

I make work about the division, opposition and collusion between animals and humans. Oil painting, drawing, assemblage, collage and the re-use of materials and objects are central to my work. Painting selected for the 171 RWA Open exhibition 2024, I won the Ovalhouse prize at Chelsea College of Art, and Gloucester University prize at the Open West. I was on the committee of the Newlyn Society of Artists for 6 years. I have exhibited in Berlin and Baku, Zdonov in the Czech Republic, London, Exeter and Birmingham and I am represented by Daisy Laing, Penzance. My work is in private collections in Hong Kong, USA, France, Italy, Germany and the UK.
