Taurus is almost complete and looking fantastic. Diana has a bit to go and waiting on plaster drying around her neck before carving and smoothing off.
The Lead required to cast the two figures works out at 113Kg, unbelievable? At a cost of £50 per 25kg box, I had to buy an extra 25kg to cover any extra, and the slag that will come off the […]
To begin the collaboration,we took a few tentative steps in the direction of a conversation about colour. We began, in that first week, by choosing a colour palette together. We have both been somewhat limited in our use of colour […]

What are the lost stories of Oblivion and Rememberance? Completed work In a life, in a culture, in an individual? And what does it mean when you have no access to or power over who you are? When […]
