So I drew the circular part of the logo onto a piece of foam board, and then very carefully cut out the shape to be assembled later. Once I had this, I used it as a template, which I could […]

Here is an image of how the work was progressing. This was the collage effect I wanted to obtain. I will say though that, the small pieces of metal are very sharp, so this did make it time consuming, because […]

My piece is a based on a memory of my Great Grandmothers house. However i like the idea of the veiwer imagination, i like to think of this piece also as perhaps a waiting room from a different realm where […]

The Sporting League: Game 20 Universo Collunteen and Pointeso lost a bit of ground at the top as the match finisihed as a cagey one – one draw. Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘I couldn’t see a winner all day long […]

The Oxo Cube Project The Oxo cube packet I found on Google images, so it was unknown to me who scanned the image onto the Internet in the first place. Without realising it, I decided to use this image to […]

Father…son…father meet son. A minimum wage father and twenty-something hipster emerging artist son in conversation. Father: ‘Aye..yeah…I was doin’ a gardenin’ job on the Pointeso Interstate Zone 34 at the petrol station and this bloke pulls up in a big […]

Once I had done this, I tore up some pieces of tin foil and added them to the compost. This I did because it looked like the foil that the Oxo cubes are wrapped in, inside the box of an […]

To give the piece even more life, I wanted to photograph something with it, which would give the viewer an idea of the scale of the object. This was important, because like Claus Oldenburg with his giant sculptures, I wanted […]

I also took some pictures of the piece outside, because I wanted to make a statement about litter and the throw away society we live in. Although hard to capture the scale of the object, the images came out really […]

Rizzla Series Peter Blake in 2005 made some silkscreen prints of Cigarette packets. These found objects (Modified objects not normally considered art, because they have no artistic function), inspired Blake to incorporate within his work. He used photographs, cigarette packets […]

This I found inspiring myself as an artist, and to follow in the footsteps of the masters of Pop art, I decided that I would do my own series of packaging or objects that appealed to me. This is where […]

This I felt will give them a kind of wall power, as they would look interesting spread out on a white background. Whilst using these objects as art, I also, following the Oxo piece I did, I made a giant […]

Consumer-Bot Once the Robot was painted white, I decided to paint the helmet, hands and feet silver. I wanted to break the logos up a bit around the body of the robot. So I was ready to start placing the […]

The hands were cast and recycled from my first year sculpture module, which were spray-painted silver and screwed to the robot. I thought I could incorporate objects into the hands of the robot, so one hand was holding an electronic […]

I was very pleased with the finished result, the advertisements worked well on the white background and degree shows space I had. Because of the consumer concept I wanted to show within this piece, I found it worked well with […]

There was a time when Saturday nights were going out nights. Now (as a forty something) I am very happy to be curled up discovering new painters via twitter! Two exciting finds tonight – Ben Cove – clean exacting lines, […]

My first mentoring session with Emma Cocker has been really productive. We had some important conversations and in the coming months I’m going to be reassessing my practice. One of things that came to the fore was that I use […]

Final works Over the past nine months I have produced a lot of different work, so I think it’s important to write a post outlines what paintings I choose to exhibition and why I chose them etc. My main aim […]
