Arced Work, 2010




Since 2006 I have begun to develop an interdisciplinary practice incorporating sculpture, video, drawing, photography and print. This has lead to my carrying out a PhD at the University of Gloucestershire to develop a theory of incongruity for contemporary sculpture. This theory explores the contradictions that arise from a pluralism of processes, materials and methodologies invoked by such a practice.

This was work in progress which was shown in the To Let Gallery at the Pittville Studios in the University of Gloucestershire, Cheltenham. I will be exhibiting an installation developed from this work at The Great Central Gallery, Leicester in July 2010.

These two works, to the right and below, were both produced with found photographs using a technique of sanding the image. 'Character Building' began as a L'Oreal poster featuring the celebrity Cheryl Cole whereas the photograph of Gordon Brown was taken from a Guardian supplement.
