Eucalyptus Leaf Vessel
Made in 2008 with formed eucalyptus leaves stitched together.
Monday’s drawings.
Start of the week and here’s two of the better drawings form the past week- a spade/utensil drawing and a key drawing- part of a continuing exploration of objects, form and composition which I’m feeding into my making. Alongside this I’m continuing with collecting objects, experimenting with materials and investigating construction techniques. Hopefully a few more objects made this week- some which will be more sculptural- stepping beyond ties to silver. Since drawings are becoming a regular thing a may start a new page jus for them and keep my materials and other musings along with any news on this cover page.
Latest work
Little peak of a finished piece in the latest series if pieces I am currently working on. In addition to having new pieces for Utensil I am aiming to submit work to a number of other exhibitions. Busy month!
Monday- drawing to start the week
Monday- full of plans for the week- here’s a drawing to start things off..
Keys..
While working on Things That Fall In Between I started considering other domestic objects linked to the idea of a home and started drawing keys, following on from a few pieces I made last year when I was in Quebec. I think these are very interesting forms and will form the basis of new work, after all utensils are defined as objects with a function…
Currently I am working on some new pieces for a couple of exhibitions – so I’ll try and keep this blog regularly updated- but no promises! Might be like today- wait for ages for one blog post and two come along at once!
drawings..
Finally a few pictures of some recent drawings- firstly better pictures of the last set of drawings- they where actually drawn as two sets on the same page so here they are separately.
Here are two simple utensil drawings- getting back ito the swing of things..
Quick pic

Things That Fall In between final.
Well the exhibition came down today so I thought I’d finally post some pictures of my work in it! Here are a couple of pictures of the pieces in situ and showing a few of the drawings I exhibited as part of the supporting work. [All the artists displayed supporting materials- drawings/notebooks/samples- in the downstairs gallery with all the pieces installed throughout the rest of the building. I have to say it has given me the confidence to try some more large works and to get back into my drawing again [more of those soon].

Quick pic of a small ladle i made last year, silver, silk thread and a single large thorn, about 15cm long. [I’ll post pictures of the big brooms when I get better pictures].
