description: A remake of a graffiti-covered supporting column from the M25 motorway/freeway, using photography and plywood. The exceptionally detailed tromp l'oeil photograph are mounted on a plywood structure, which shows through at top and bottom. A play on reality and illusion, process and reproduction, simulacra and materiality. A synthesis of sculpture, photography and installation. This work was a commission for the Keith Talent Gallery and Year_06. It was installed in the lovely Dicken's Library of the Mary Ward House, Bloomsbury, London.
description: A homemade replica of a billboard. The main blue image and weathered silvered frame are both constructed from tromp l'oeil photographs.
description: The installation Root functioned like a vacant lot. Viewers were free to explore. A footpath at the gallery entrance led out double-doors to the parking bay at rear. The environment of growth and decomposition pit the rectilinear geometry of man-made materials against the fractal geometry of the organic. A tension between order and disorder prevailed - the appearance of wilderness was the result of careful construction.
