EXPERIMENTS/WORKS-IN-PROGRESS/MAQUETTES

Whilst I work as instinctively as possible and try and live by the maxim 'First Thought: Best Thought', the process of making art involves usually unseen stages of creation, from conceptual models to early drafts and also work that doesn't have the effect I'd envisaged.

Here are some examples of them.

Carrot & Stick (2013)

Water Glass (ext.) (2012)

Reflecting decay and the weather in a glass of water over several months.

Untitled Maquette (2013)

Before I make my installations, I make a split-screen model to see and hear what the end result might be. This was filmed on the closing night of 'Deep End' in the gymnasium next to the swimming pool, since demolished. Katy Jungmann happened to have her saxophone with her, so I asked her to improvise slowly.
