New Artwork

Those of you who braved the rain and visited my studio during South East Open Studios will have seen some of my latest paper collages. Inspired by my early love of Stravinsky, themes such as the Rite of Spring, Firebird and Song of the Nightingale are interwoven with a mystical contemplation of shape-shifting. As boy metamorphoses into bird, one is the other, and vice versa - the empathy and ability to experience becomes no mere masked dress-up.
Artist made collages are constructed from layers of coloured papers, using top quality acid-free papers such as the light stable Canford range manufactured by Daler Rowney.
