A Long Walk Ruined (2005 - )
Click on image to view work
Two shades of green painted golf tees are secured randomly within a formal structure to form the illusion of a piece of manicured grass. The work reflects the reality of a golf course being man-made and perfectly landscaped, illustrating man’s impact on redesigning nature. Additionally, as a green tee peg is a rarity within the game, the material used for the installation not only creates an illusion of nature but also mirrors the scarcity of nature’s resources. In a society caught in the presence of global warming, the work A Long Walk Ruined, re-evaluates our perception of our surroundings. The image captures an idealistic view of nature, yet underneath reveals a darker side that mimics the true reality of the world in its current state.
This project has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Shortlisted for the ‘Profilo d’Arte Painting Award 2008’ at the Museo della Permanente in Milan, Italy.
God lives in Detail (2007 - )

God lives in Detail involves deconstructing and assembling constructions from recycled computers. The latest constructions have developed into architectural fantasy landscapes or miniature worlds. These provoke a range of issues from environmental, recycling and waste, consumerism, utopia and escapism. The ideas for composition and structure are inspired from unique components that are removed from within a computer. Every screw, nut and bolt is reused to assemble these constructions. Nothing is added that is not already a part of a computer. Each computer holds a story and this reconfiguration of its life presents a new beginning for the viewer.
This project has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Awarded a Sustainable Art award 2009, London; shortlisted for the biennial ‘Sir Leslie Joseph Young Artist Award’, Glynn Vivian Gallery, Swansea; a selected winner of the ‘Hun International 2009’, Hun Gallery, New York and filmed by BBC Mundo in 2009.
