With January now drawing to a close I decided it would be worth making a series of monthly posts looking at work in progress on the studio walls. The shots here show a selection of paintings which I’ve been returning to over the past few weeks.

New Project Samples
December 8th, 2011
I’ve been commissioned to produce two windows for the Weston-Super-Mare General Hospital A / E dept. Early in the process the League of Friends expressed a desire to capture something of the Weston sea front, so I teamed up with my friend and photographer Geraint Davies for a mornings shoot. I’m making the work using digital film on glass which suits the project brief perfectly. Today it was great to receive the first set of samples, one of which is shown here.

Salisbury Children’s Hospital Update
September 18th, 2011
My part in this project was completed some four months ago and has been well received and signed off. Frustratingly the architect and contractors are still on site snagging which means the play deck is still a construction site, the children can not access a fantastic facility and I’m unable to take good photographs of the finished glass. I visited last week to shoot the play deck from a new angle and record the adjacent corridor windows as a portfolio stop gap.

Children’s Unit Play Deck
April 12th, 2011
Today I visited the new Children’s Unit at Salisbury District Hospital to see my glass panels – newly installed at the weekend. The upper level of the exterior play deck is accessible from the children’s ward and provides an exciting environment for children to explore and play. I’ve really enjoyed working on this project with ArtCare over the last year and have to commend them for the number of other high quality art commissions they are managing here – all making a great difference to the unit. My part in the project will see completion soon when the second phase corridor glazing goes in.
New Project Photos
February 3rd, 2011
I met my old friend Geraint Davies in Hackney this week to shoot my glass in the new chapel at St Joseph’s Convent. He works professionally both as a stone mason and photographer and I’d keenly recommend his services in both areas of work! www.geraintdavies.co.uk. Here are some of his shots from the day, which I’ll be adding to my main web page soon.

St Joseph’s Convent, Installation
December 21st, 2010
Despite the travel chaos caused by snow and ice my project in Hackney, much to my amazement, relief, and no doubt a little luck on the day, was installed yesterday. Everything ran to plan, fork lift and operator arriving, crate from Derix Studios in Germany, skip, tower, my installation team and a member from Velfac, who worked hard through the day to complete the work. The third area [screen] will go in this morning, and I’ll have some better photo’s in due course.
