Keep your Coolth - 32 x 23 x 17 cm Reclaimed porcelain and coloured sand in collaboration with Metha Stuart Wallace

Fridges account for up to 7% of total domestic energy consumption. This work is a pot-in-pot refrigerator, or “zeer” made from two vessels, one inside the other with a layer of sand in between. An evaporative cooling process takes place when the sand is kept wet. Zeers date back to Ancient Egypt but are rarely found in western cultures dependant upon electric refigeration. This work sustainably cools food and other things but equally it is made using sustainable porcelain reclaimed from other ceramicists studios. This reinterpretation of the “zeer” reduces its users carbon footprint, but importantly this work is also seen as an artwork challenging assumptions and conceptions about the entrentched role domestic electric appliences play in everyday life.

4 April to 31 May 2024 Outdoor exhibition: Nærum Hovedgade, 2850 Nærum, Denmark

This outdoor exhibition of paintings and drawings explores 12 views from a single road in the suburban town of Nærum, in the region of greater Copenhagen, Denmark.

This site-specific exhibition located at different points along Nærum Hovedgade documents 12 different suburban dwellings and uses landscape painting as site-specific.The Danish residential road is re-imagined transforming the everyday into an idealised suburban space. As with the suburban landscape itself, there is a nostalgic desire for an identity of dwelling and belonging.

Look but do not touch - Glazed ceramic stoneware assemblages and oil on cotton hanging. In collaboration with Metha Stuart Wallace

Digital machines look at the world through the techniques of 'edge detection'. Their algorithms make sense of everyday objects such as plates and cups by analyzing pixels rather than by eating and drinking from them. Digital machines live in a more challenging world where edges aren't always what they seem but are formed by shadows, highlights and background effects. This work interprets tableware through the 'edge detection' eyes of digital machines and gives us a view of the world they inhabit.
