A closer look at the old alphabet stamp set I found at the flea market today. It is missing the letter "I", but came with an ampersand.

I found these, and a metric ton of rocks and glass, digging up the vegetable bed.

Another piece utilizing the great techniques I learned this summer with Diane Falkenhagen. This one combines some really gorgeous snail? shells from a very vintage necklace and makes use of a watch case half as a centerpiece. The other elements are either brass ovals with resin, mica, gold leaf and a shell or some more roughly gold-leafed papier mache/polymer beads. This one will probably be entered in an upcoming juried show.

Our collection of objects and specimens from hikes, work trips and the back yard.

Base is a Formica color sample (grunged). Objects include pocket watch part with eyelets added, photo turns, key, metal corner, amusement token, suspender clip and hardware. Antique copper ballchain by Tim Holtz (available at Bonnie's Best.)

Originally a key-ring/pendant, the customer wanted to wear it as a brooch. I didn't want to compromise the functionality of the knife or to damage either of the engraved sides, so we agreed to make a bar-brooch and hang the knife removably from it.

Based in London, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, The Mill collaborate on award-winning (you can't help but notice the prominently displayed Oscar and two BAFTA awards as you walked into their London base) moving image, design and digital projects for the advertising, film, TV, games and music industry. They also put the two massive front windows of their London building to good use as a display areas for contemporary artwork.

So I was rather pleased when they invited me to exhibit my work in their London space (40-41 Great Marlborough Street, at the top of Carnaby Street, and a few doors along from the Liberty Store) for the whole of June and July 2013.

For the show I installed four works; in the deeper window, Orifice Tower, Pharos Cyclops #1 and 2, and in the shallow window, Planetoid 210. Although all three pieces (for the sake of argument I'll call 'Pharos Cyclops #1 and 2' one piece for now) share certain commonalities, they are also examples of different lines of enquiry that I have pursued. For this installation I wanted to give an insight into the divergent aspect of my practice; to show how various works can trigger ideas for newer and slightly different pieces, which in turn lead to further, and thus less related, works. To highlight this aspect of the development of my work I displayed the two Cyclops pieces on bright green deckchairs, the colour of which is a reference to one of my earliest sculptures, And When I'm a Man (I'll Think as a Man). Being bright green and made of fibreglass, plastic and resin, this earlier work offers a stark contrast to the directs of much of my current work.

Found in our garden in Herne Hill South London 1979. Its either very old or someone's failed ceramics project...

I took time out for a little thrift shopping during the ECU Metals Symposium and found a few things Bob Ebendorf had missed! It's the first time I have seen a pince-nez with a hairpin attached.

A necklace going into the shop this week made with a found piece of metal and vintage knit string.
