After one month of the passage house at Heathercombe Gardens it was time to unravel the piece and transform it for it’s next exhibition at the White Moose. It did not take as long as we had thought and from starting at lunchtime we had finished putting all the rope in the spools by the late afternoon. It was the exhibition’s last day so we had ...
It has been quite a journey from the unraveling of the Mariners Way ball, the cleaning, the re-knotting and now the execution of the new form; the passage house. There were a number of factors against me as I now have less rope available and even less time to construct it in. I wanted to stay true to my original idea that included an entrance and exit of the ...
Last month I went back to the University of Exeter and unraveled the 1,300metres of knotted rope which is going to be changed into another sculpture along the Mariners Way walk; a passage house.

Hello, With the up and coming exhibition at Exeter University in April I thought I would give you an update to the new work I’ve been doing in 2013. These are some barrel ends I’m going to be using as information boards. I went on a Winter crossing of the Mariners Way walk just to refresh myself with the route. It was a great experience and with ...
From May 2012 to February 2013 I have been helping the Art Society of Exeter University to design and create their new sculptural idea of a peacock. The brief for the project was to utilize as much recycled material as possible and create an object or animal and display the final piece on campus. The construction of the new Forum building had finished in May 2012 ...
Hello, At the moment it is difficult to display finished pieces as I am currently making work so I thought I’d update my blog with some shots of my studio and make comments about the work. In the background is my first oil painting in over three years! Realising how long it had been I decided to have a month of colour mixing before I got started on this ...
