Nuts & Bolts!

The homemade lightbox is certainly getting used lately! Heres some recent pics of work in progress.....
Experiment with lasercut acrylic discs, the blue ones are mirror acrylic that has been engraved by laser. I then tried joining them with micro screws. I then went onto using heat to bend the acrylic to make a cuff, still needs more development in terms of bending/heating and joining.

This is my homage to Keith Albarn and the temple shrine of Abdullah Ansari in Gazargah, Afganistan.


Inspiration from this piece came from historical ruffs, sci-fi films like Giger's 'Alien,' Alexander McQueen and Sarah Angold. This is weaving with wire and acrylic, two rows.

Two rows of acrylic and wire, I'm liking how it twists like a spine.

More twisting!

Twisted!

Three rows of weaving!



Four rows of acrylic, lots of wire and nuts and bolts, work in progress.

Inspiration for Ba8, Keith Albarn, Ansari Shrine in Afganistan, my daughter, fragmentation, patterns, sacred geometry, drawings of Leon Bakst, blue and white pottery, globalisation, appropriation...... just a few things to be going on with....
