This walk is very dangers for walkers the shire lack of footpaths has got to seen to be believed.

Example of my work and what I would like to do



I did this large 'C' Clamp I would like to work with these two tree roots at Easton Lane Fire Station Winchester. Clear all the soil of the trees roots so message can be put on to the roots and add the leafs back my idea is is half leafed and half not.

Two Tree Stumps Outside Easton Fire Station Winchester


I see these two tree stump outside the New Easton Lane Fire Station. I would love to able to work with these tree stumps
Take all the soil of the roots and but the leaf's back on to the tree by sewing them back on.
I have email Hampshire Fire Service to say I would like to work with the three stumps and they could be part of Moral Garden.
They have plans to move the trees from the old fire station in Winchester . This would be a new element that people could leave message on the tree roots.
I was given a name of someone working at Hampshire Council Office. I was given his email and I have had a replay and have given him my website addresses for examples of my work and all go well they can clearly see I work very large.
A workman said they have problems taking away tree root. This project would be recycle saving the local tax payer money and in return they would get a very good sculpture .
I do not even have to paid to do the work. I feel the work talking to me when I see them the other day. I really hope I can work on them

My Studio Space

This is video of my studio space.

I have been work on a project for my show

at the Rag Factory for 7-11 October 2010.

This a group show of Artist from Winchester School of Art who got their the Degree in 2009. The show has came about from the money left over after the our degree show.

The money is being used for the Rag Factory Show, we only had to pay 20 pound each to be able show our work.

This is a big show that has come out of time when a lot of company were not giving any money with the downturn.

To over come this big shortfall our year did a car boot for 6 hours on a Sunday. We were given a lot of things to sell to help raise money. and we made over 1,100's pounds .

A big thank to the Winchester people who supported our Car Boot without your support we would be able to put the show on in London at the Rag Factory

As Artist I think we have done very well and we got the Rag Factory show out of it.

So if your around in London do come along and have a look at the artist work.

We have got the first Thursday in the month and we doing a Private view on the Friday,

This is a very result for the group of 35 artist

next I make the 'C' Clamp I will use hard word. This one was made using softwood to keep theweight down. It look 4 weeks to make 8 to 10 hours a day, and cost £500.

Front cover for the book " Drawing Meets Painting"


This is our first go at using InDesign, if you want to copy file into using 'Word 'or 'Photoshop' you have to "save as web" into InDisign. Photoshop you have to move the "Hand"over the image and move it to the part of the image you want to get what you want it take a while, but you do end up getting what you want after a fashion.
InDisign it what they you for the industry standard for magazine.
We want to write a book about how we are thinking of our work and not have to get an Art History type of writer. The viewer well be going on the journey as the artists are doing with project as they read the book.

Drawing Meets Painting

This is a very large drawing/painting (1.5M X 10M).This work is being done by Deb Hall and me. We are having spent about 18 months working on this one drawing.
We are putting a book together to show and want we are thinking and along with our comments.
As I find a lot of books are done by people who study art history. I think the viewer will enjoy reading what the artist are saying to each other and what are our thoughts are behind to the work.

Drawing Meets Painting with Deborah Hall (10M x 1.5)


Deborah and I have been working together on a project called: Drawing Meets Painting. We have a joint show in 2011 at : " The Willis Museum" in Basingstoke Hampshire (UK) Title: Space.
This work is very large! People who know me well know that I do not do small works. I like the idea of turning this drawing so it would hang on a wall and going around a whole room .
We have spent many months working on the drawing building it up in layers, I like using a fine wash although but Deborah likes to pour ink on to the paper. Deborah uses canvases that which can take a lot of water where as some paper cannot take that much. As we are using 200g "Fabriano" paper but I like to use 300g rough papers. We are using smooth it not quite right for me either, so we are working on a medium that isn't right for neither of us.
When we are work on the work we have no idea what the weather is doing outside even when it pouring down with rain.
