Millefiori / DMG / kandy black

2017

About the Item

Millefiori / DMG / kandy black is a ten colour archival pigment print on 305gsm, 100% cotton, Hahnemühle fine art paper. The work can be supplied unframed, or framed and ready to hang. I tend to use fairly minimal glazed and painted tulipwood frames, and set the work ‘straight in’ under the fillets, without a window mount. If you’d like to discuss other framing choices to suit your space please do get in touch. Individually signed and numbered From an edition of 24 prints, plus 2 APs Image size ⋅ 66cm H x 66cm W Sheet size ⋅ 86cm H x 86cm W . Millefiori / DMG (digitally made glass) is the next logical, or perhaps illogical, step towards trying to capture some of the light, life and vibrancy that you will find in studio glass, on paper, inspired by a visit to Murano, and the millefiori works they make there. Millefiori tend to be quite small glass objects, often paperweights, broadly made by cutting lengths of multicoloured glass rods, and fusing them into larger pieces, dense with colour, intricacy and detail. Taking that inspiration as my starting point, I’ve drawn a fairly random collection of glazed pebbles, and set them within a circular form, with no particular rhythm outside of the four circles that contain them. Each is then sculpted internally to contain a four, five, six or seven pointed star form, with a kind of abstracted flower at its core. It’s probably the most complex piece I’ve built to date, and really needs to be seen at scale, in the flesh, to really understand the detail and colour that it contains. For the pigment print editions, I’ve made a silvery white version, and a deep charcoal/navy piece. Both have 66cm cores, with a good amount of paper surrounding them. If I was choosing the framing, I would mount them flat, and put them ‘straight in’ under the fillets. So the whole focus is on the drawing, not the paper or the mount.

Klint / reDux / kbrk is a ten colour archival pigment print on 305gsm, 100% cotton, Hahnemühle fine art paper. The work can be supplied unframed, or framed and ready to hang. I tend to use fairly minimal glazed and painted tulipwood frames, and set the work ‘straight in’ under the fillets, without a window mount. If you’d like to discuss other framing choices to suit your space please do get in touch. Individually signed and numbered From an edition of 48 prints, plus 4 APs Image size ⋅ 50.8cm H x 66cm W Sheet size ⋅ 65cm H x 80cm W . Le Klint Studio is an inspiration to anyone who loves paper folding, contemporary design, and light. So, of course, I couldn’t resist making a series of origami like geometries for a new set of works on paper in 2015. Le Klint Studio, to my mind, are particularly well known for their folded paper pendant shades, contemporary designs which are as beautiful as they are ubiquitous. The image I made is not an identikit line work, more an homage based around some of the origami like folds they use, with the addition of colour glazes and offset transparencies. I've also added a grid like structure of darkly shaded lines and accents, that brings the geometry to life. The first piece I drew, ACDH (acid house...

Dazzle / 12 bar crop

Dazzle / 12 bar crop is a ten colour archival pigment print on 305gsm, 100% cotton, Hahnemühle fine art paper. The work can be supplied unframed, or framed and ready to hang. I tend to use fairly minimal glazed and painted tulipwood frames, and set the work ‘straight in’ under the fillets, without a window mount. If you’d like to discuss other framing choices to suit your space please do get in touch. Individually signed and numbered From an edition of 48 prints, plus 4 APs Image size ⋅ 60cm H x 48.6cm W Sheet size ⋅ 72.8cm H x 60.6cm W . The Dazzle piece I drew for my 2017 show Current at Catto was 200cm wide, but the drawing seemed to offer an opportunity to generate a smaller work on paper as well. So after a little further experimentation, I cropped the study down to the 12 vertical bars that form the central core of the composition, and tried it out at various sizes on the Hahnemühle paper, settling in the end for this pigment print edition at 60cm high. I like the idea of the 12 bar crop, with its strong musical connotations. Dazzle is another work that uses my SV (systematic variation) technique to modulate the line drawing in ways that make it denser, more complex, and less overtly machine generated. I hope it takes on some of the life you’d find in a classic Missoni fabric, as well as drawing inspiration from the amazing ‘camouflaged’ vessels that became known as dazzle ships...

I tend to use fairly minimal glazed and painted tulipwood frames, and set the work ‘straight in’ under the fillets, without a window mount.

Individually signed and numbered From an edition of 24 prints, plus 2 APs Image size ⋅ 88cm H x 72.2cm W Sheet size ⋅ 100cm H x 82.2cm W . Torsion / primer is a variant of an original base drawing that was used to create the ‘torqued’ forms of the more complex Torsion / REZ works on Plexiglass. The idea comes from a number of places but in particular the modernist sculptural work of Walter Leblanc, and his idea that if you heat up a thin bar of steel, and torque one end through a number of rotations, whilst clamping the other end firmly, the resulting form will be a hugely satisfying candy twist of metal, spiralling up or down, depending on your choice of rotational direction. For Torsion / primer I drew tall...
