Two crumbling city building; their sullen shades of concrete blend into rusted metal and sand as they form a frame around a flesh morphed buildings whose twisted form beats clouds of thick smoke.

Bleeding Heart 360 Montage, 2022, 4k 360° video, 3D digital modeling and animation. - Recommended to view in 4k.

Low to the ground rubble and sand surrounds the view. Looking though the torn fishing net floating in the ocean current there is nothing but broken buildings from what was once a city with the smallest patches of seaweed.

Dishevelled city buildings contort the sand covered path to a one-way road. At the end of the road a flesh morphed building rhythmically contracts around twisted forms of metal masts as valves pulse clouds and droplets of oil obscuring the view.

The seabed is wide open and seemingly empty. Huge rocks of smooth eroded stone blanketed by algae start to appear in the distance as the scrapes of bottles and plastic sheets increase. .

Deep in the ocean the fading forms of skyscrapers warp and twist into looming giants. Sand and rubble blanket the floor while a fishing net casts a roof of rope over the view.

Underwater a bloom a jellyfish gently swim overhead as the collapsed buildings behind them continue to slowly decay into skeletons of rusted support beams and bricks.

Deep under water sand and rubble cloak the seabed. An archway of rock and algae frame the pathway ahead as a doorway.

Bottles cover a rocky archway like a swarm of barnacles, swaying in the ocean current as their contents unblinking eyes stare back.

On the rusted support beams of a decaying city building a ragged fishing net gently waves in the ocean current.

Some past works.

An illustration of a tiny non-existent creature. This bipedal reptile stands learning forward with its' disproportionately stumpy rattle snake like tail keeping it balance. The whale like fins that may have once been arms but now help it change direction when running. Despite it rounded head and large eyes, it is not a creature to think of a cute when in a large swarm.

Rattle Runner, 2017, 23x20cm, colour pencil drawing on paper.

Near identical scattered sheets of thick paper blanket the surface. 'birds' each reads at the top: below illustrations. 'crow' it has inked next to the line drawing of a corvid playing with a disposable cup lid. 'Nightjar' sprawled by a strange bird with its mouth wide open. 'Long-Eared Owl' it states of the fluffed up bird of prey. 'Mallard duck' is reads of the foul falling over. 'House sparrow' labels the shouty bird. 'Blue tit' remarks the ink of the tiny bird hanging upside down with its butt out.

Birds, 2019, individual print size 42x30cm, litho printing.

A wood carving of a rabbit sits with ears pointed back, beside it a wood carving of a shrew. Both encircled by pine cones as they lay in place on a stone floor with the sun behind their backs.

Rabbit and Shrew, 2019, approx: 80x170x170cm, wood carving.

Fog and damp lightly cover the scene of strange sand and winding stones. Barley visible rests a shape swarmed by a crinkling moss blanket of sweet wrappers. Atop this organic form grow more shapes of crumpled bottles. Along its bony eye socket sprout more shapes as the skulls gaze is cast toward growing clusters of Styrofoam and thriving carrier bags.

In a tall empty room surrounded by smooth pillars and metal railing hangs a fabric sculpture far out of reach. despite its' neatly folded sown seams it appears raggedly and rigid as though its' form is not filled by fluff and fabric but instead a crude skeleton of wires. The fabric Mares' mane and tail are neat but still a mess like they once carefully cut into stripes one by one but then began fraying into threads over time. Her legs and head droop below her body as she is unable to reach anything.

NightMare, 2020, approx: 125cmx75cmx35, fabric and metal wire scultpure.

A close up painting of a golden crowned crane. The birds feathers are slightly fluffed up along its neck as it looks to the left with its' eye towards the viewer. The scene is warm as the sun casts itself along the form of the subject.
