Experiment #1

I've had this one in the studio for months and I finally finished it the other day. Its another mixed media piece, including paper mache like techniques, tubing, wire, acrylic paint

Work in Progress: Spine Hole

As you can see from the photo I am having great fun experimenting adding texture to my Corpus Veneer Series of paintings. The 3D element certainly brings the subject to life. This ones not quite finished, I think I need to add some tubes, not sure where yet though.

Encyclopedia Anatomica

Found a cheap and slightly damaged copy of Encyclopedia Anatomica today. I love Taschen books and this is one of the best I've seen. 500+ pages of super-realistic wax models of the humans body. I say super-realistic but then again I don't spend any time looking at my entrails :-)

Full details of the book at the Taschen Site. Its about £17, there is a cut-down version for £6 at Amazon.co.uk

Definitely inspiring

Specimen Incubator: New Sculpture

This series of sculptures is created from disused electronics, wire, plastic and pseudo-organic elements. The devices serve no functional purpose and exist as purely as art.

Are you a gallery brave enough to display these innovative sculptures?
