Coral Reef papercut commission

A private commission i recently completed. Inspired by beautiful and complex coral reefs, the piece was hand cut over about 3-4 days from 170gsm acid free paper stock. The piece is 29cm x 21cm in size.

NOISELAB installation complete!

Here are a few images of a piece i created for arts charity Noise Festival, at the manchester pop-up shop, NOISELAB. The window installation was made from a series of large scale drawings, which were then cut out into seperate components, suspended and pieced together.
I havnt thought of a name for the piece yet, but i am considering 'Big Bertha' as a homage to the 80's childrens animation.

This is the completed hand cut paper installation piece, 'Dust Clouds in the Eagle Nebula' currently being exhibited at the Bowery gallery, Headingly, Leeds.
