The Home-Works project began when he moved into a new flat in 2014 and during a degree course collaboration project where he produced work along with members of his family. There were no decorations when he moved in just what he refers to as insanely pure white walls throughout which was very much like living in an empty gallery space. Individual sculptures and paintings were made to respond to the uses and features of his home, making interventions and combinations in the various spaces. Working across variety of media, his sculptures, paintings and functional works show a contrast between home life and work. The works based in his home are often made using materials that are found in the home or sculptures that are possible to be made in a Do It Yourself way.

​

This project evolved at the same time as the debates over Brexit were being formed. However, since completing his degree course he has moved away from this quite introverted, `self improvement’ way of working to one where he has also been addressing the need to make connections and to work. This was the basis of the project producing paintings in response to each bridge along the River Thames (currently up to the edge of London). This project therefore developed further his ideas around the question of where is home. 

​

He uses a variety of methods and materials for these, from a combination of concrete and oil and acrylic paint, for the London Bridge painting, to simpler paintings and drawings. Chance processes are often incorporated into his paintings, for example in his Thames project contrasting the flows of the river with the structures of the bridges expressing the chaos/order of city life. He is now working on another walking project as he produces paintings from along the coastal paths of the west coast of England with its contrasts of the unpredictability of the nature on the beaches and cliffs under the powers of coastal erosion, tides, etc. This method of painting is again often used to form the basis of the paintings contrasting with more detailed and purposeful aspects, as the painting takes on a life of its own (almost).

​

Currently he is also working from life drawing sketches and paintings to do work addressing the human body and the human condition. Mostly using primary colours he is trying to demonstrate how negativity (blue), positivity (red) and expression itself (yellow) are always present in our lives and how the body and mind are impacted and controlled by these forces.

​

There are currently 4 small professionally produced books to accompany these home-works projects. The first was a collection of photographs in `Fateful Eye’, recording chance occurrences over several years. The second, titled `What Beauty Yucca’ is a record of Photo-shopped sketches of two plants done routinely once a week. A third is called ‘Coffee Table’ and is a series of images taken while the top of his functional Coffee Table sculpture was being made. The final book that he has produced titled Home Work Text Book is a gathering of ideas and processes involved in in the making of his work and their influences.
