A design and welding project using recycled bikes to create a new scooter / kickbike is well underway.
Version 1 . Just sourcing some final resourced parts to finish.
I had just spent 1 day making a ramp that could support 500kg payload on my flatbed trolley. So with that on my mind I did these paintings.
In my mind I had envisioned the quarry as something pretty low key but on arival that changed, it was like a mining operation, my trolley and my 800kg capable van looked miniscule in comparison to the big trucks and earth moving equipment. We loaded up 900 kg of rock, betwen 80kg and 150kg each, and got back home.

After that I discovered that potentially imitation stone paths would suit the the landscape and walkways so I developed a technique for making the paths and having them look like stone slabs.
They are actually very practical because the surface gives excellent adhesion for walking because of the texture, veins and granule finish.

I paint in a way that lets people use their imagination to complete the picture making their own experience based on the colour, forms and linework.
The nature of the work is very caligraphic. The contrasting lines represent the text and the colours and shapes create the emotional verbs allowing the each piece to talk in a visual sense.
The application is very much inspired by a unique movement. Each element super imposed without guide lines, each painting unique in the journey of colour and shapes.
