Untitled - 2010

Steel wire, steel sheet, plastic, fluorescent light.

A piece made for a group exhibition in London's Finborough road brasserie. The theme of the exhibition was "sense", and I chose to focus on what i believe is the sense I can relate to my work, the sense of feeling, hence the hand...

Grandpa - 2009 (In progress)

4 mm wire, 3mm steel sheet. Spot and arc welded. Strong Calder inspired piece. I was more spontaneous and playful with the steel on this one, and it turned out like this. Probably because I've been doing alot of research on Calder lately. I was first intending to slap on shadows, but in the spirit of not overdoing, I decided not to..
