Consumer Britain 2008
This work came about through one of those seredipitious moments... melted plastic cutlery gave me the inspiration and glueing it to a perspex sheet in the shape of Britain meant that the cutlery could be viewed from front or back.Sunday, 9 December 2007
Wider River 2007
This painting was shown at the North Devon Appledore Arts Festival 2007, now in it's 10th year.
The theme that year was 'Wide River' and I took full advantage of this to pursue my own interests in climate change and how we are responding to its challenges.
Wide river became Wider River as I superimposed the Greenpeace estimated sea level rises of 7m on to the familiar landscape of the Taw/Torridge river estuary. I filmed my children playing in the streets that would be lost under water and projected those images on to the painting. The film had an aged quality giving the images a look of the past yet commenting on their future. The sound of melting ice caps and running water ominously chased the children through the streets. This is a work about time. Past, present and future. What is the future that we want?
