We never fought against titans We never fought against trolls We never fought against tyrants We fought Amongst ourselves When the sky swept Behind darkness The wife, she said farewell She wailed for the world To go silent But we were deaf As we Fought Amongst ourselves. She was LIFE Herself, You see; Dressed in white (spattered red). She tried to sing as a siren, But [...]
White earthenware clay 19.11.2019 7.4 x 10.2 x 5.5 cm
Fired white clay and terracotta encased in epoxy casting resin 2020 Large piece – 9 x 21.5 x 4.2 cm, small piece – 4.5 x 9 x 1.8 cm I had an idea mid way through this year, and I was so excited about it that I emailed my studio arts teacher to see if the concept was actually [...]
THE SILENT ONES ARE NOT ALWAYS SILENTLY PASSIVE. SOME OF US ARE SILENTLY STEWING. WE ARE WAITING TO BURST AT YOUR DOWN-RIGHT WORST.
The labyrinth was never victor-less. But it was never victimless either; ( How many? ) Countless corpses Mauled by just one minotaur. Was Daedalus a victim to? Victim to the greed Of a king?

Soap stone sculpture finished 08.06.2020 3.5 x 4 x 7 cm Whilst ‘commenticius’ sounds like an over the top title for such a small sculpture, it’s Latin for “invented, devised, fabricated, imaginary”.

Scratchboard 2.06.2018 15.8 x 10.8 cm (including frame) I don’t remember making this one. Which is a shame because WOW I love it a little too much. I did do the one thing that’s frowned upon in the art world though – I traced a photo of a raccoon to get the right proportions. All I did was draw [...]

Hypnos praise! Hypnos please – Bless me with the swift sinking to Your land of dreams! A blank place, A purity; A peaceful colour-field Of the darkest tones. I wish to escape This woeful tale the Fates have woven All for me. Hypnos praise! Hypnos please – Bless me with the swift sinking to Your land of dreams! Are you there? Do you even hear? [...]
The Fates ask me “What is it you want”? They ask at at precise intervals; spread out neatly on my short stubby thread. 1. They catch me out in times of calm sending ripples through what was still; you can imagine my annoyance e v e r y t i m e . 2. “What is it you want”? It’s a casual question [...]
