Stripes.

I've been doing some work on a self-devised project and while doing so created these stripe pieces.

Spaces.

Some recent experimentations, made after seeing the amazing work of Paul Topolos - although these are only scribbles compared to his breathtakingly amazing matte drawings.

After Matisse.

When still at school I was 'introduced', as such, to the art of Matisse. I became particularly infatuated by his later works, especially his paper cut outs. 
Inspired by his work, I created some floral-based images.

60s and 70s Patterns.

Following on from the mid century patterns, here are some based on the colours and shapes of the 1960s and 1970s, from a 21st Century perspective.

Mid century patterns.


 A while ago (when I was working on my Body of Work, to be exact) I made a lot of drawings based on items from the mid 20th Century. From these I then made patterns.
The first that appears here is based on Arne Jacobsen's Swan Chair while the second is based on a mid century Australian kitchen that I found within Carter's Mid 20th Century book by Dorothy and William Hall.
