number hat

I saw a tall hat made of beaten metal in a museum in Berlin not so long ago. It was much taller than this and covered in circles that spiralled up its length. Almost 3 feet tall and made from a single piece of metal over a thousand years ago. It was ceremonial and the circles represented, acurately I think, a lunisola calander. Here it is ......
I think I need to draw bigger hats.

Cosmic Handmaid

Revisited this after a time. Not sure if it is finished. He is poorly and looking askance; like an irritable cat. The pillow is collaged from a catalogue of antique ceramics.

future nun

The pattern in body of this collage was created in Hong Kong by several 5 year olds wielding paint and ink with terrifying abandon.

The woman's hat is a sculpture that I found on the inside cover of a Tate magazine. It was standing in grass in front of some trees screaming at me 'I'm a hat. hello. I'm a hat'. She looks like a morman or shaker and he looks like something ancient... 

a kind of reversed pocahontas then...:)

Hong Kong

I lived in Hong Kong for a couple of years. I miss it in strange ways. My uncle lived around those parts too and gave me an old faded map of the harbour covered in mac donnalds and real fur adverts. the numbers in the image on the right are ferry routs across victoria harbour. 

South America

My wife is well travelled and has been to several countries in South America. Evidently I haven't.
