A new sculpture



In an endless pointless pursuit for perfection
we seek mutilation and union with synthetic technology
For no purpose as nature has a design for all living things

Flesh - new painting

Been working on this one for a few weeks

Momento Flesh

Just finished this new sculpture possibly one of my most visceral so far. For a change I decided to varnish this one and I'm please with the effect. The only problems with varnishing paintings is that they become hellish to try and photograph. After numerous attempts I just about got it right. The varnish has really bought out the detail of the painting and it looks wet.

I have entered this one into a Liverpool John Moores Contemporary Painting Prize, wish me luck.





Cheers

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?

Organovidigram

Organovidigram

Exploring the fusion between technology and the human nervous system. A hybrid of various technologies combined with pseudo organic elements. Is this a device of medical support, life enhancement or torture?

Have been working on this one for a few months, gradually constructing from found objects and paint.
