Here's the recent interview I did about my artistic career. We talk about my time at uni, my initial foray into scent based artwork, my time looking at perfumery and my more recent work. You can view it here: youtu.be/T5FBNP-5CTY?si…

My latest 'Scents of Our Time' exhibition opens tomorrow! The exhibition sees me make candles in response to news stories, and takes you through the process of how a fledging news story becomes a burning news candle. fronteer.co.uk/event-details/…

'Scents of Our Time' is in full swing at Fronteer! During @openupsheffield I will be making a series of scented candles in situ in response to news events. Come and talk to me about candles, the news and the candles behind the news.

I will be making scented candles in response to the news at Fronteer Gallery for OpenUp Sheffield. Join me for a glimpse into the world of candles, the news and the scents behind the stories.

Keeping Scents of Our Time up to date with a pair of candles about today's headlines. The red candle is about local elections and the green candle is about the Government's broken climate promises. News so fresh the wax hasn't even set yet! πŸ—žοΈπŸ—žοΈπŸ—žοΈ

Today I continue creating candles in response to the news. Prominent in the headlines today are whooping cough, Israel and Eurovision, and recession. How will I design scented candles around such stories? I'll figure it out! Fronteer Gallery is open 10-3 Friday - Sunday.

Took the time in between exhibitions at Fronteer Gallery to pop all of my current 'A Problem Shared is a Problem Halved' work on a wall, just to see what they look like together. I'm pretty happy with the result. A solo show is on the cards for 2025 🎨🎨🎨

On the flip side of my previous post containing exhibition-ready paintings, here's 4 unfinished paintings in my 'A Problem Shared is a Problem Halved' that need some extra attention. They'll be ready one day! 🎨

I've been busy moving studios over the last few months, so I haven't been making much. Happily I've found a few hours to start cooking a few things up today though πŸ‘€

Work in progress. The constellation slides are all complete, to an extent, but some of the constellations need a little reworking. 🎨 This lot will be winging their way to Fronteer for the 'Darkness' exhibition, which is coming later this month. πŸ”¬

Here's my effort for the upcoming 'Darkness' show at Fronteer Gallery. It's a development of an idea I had about 5 years ago, concerning how perfumery and astronomy aren't that different when you get down to it; they both study something we can't quite fathom. πŸ”¬πŸŒšπŸŽ¨
