Acrylic - it’s cutting edge
Acrylic is one of the most versatile materials I work with. It can be cutwith stunning accuracy - great for my skylines, and almost jigsaw-like London Boroughs art. It comes in fantastic array of colours, and the fluorescent acrylic reflects light in an almost magical way.
33 x 110 x 5 cm
This piece is created from an original photograph, taken from Greenwich Observatory. The view is one of my favourites in London, with so many of the city’s famous landmarks in one long line. The London Eye, Shard, BT Tower, St Paul’s and the Gherkin all feature.
The skyline is laser-cut in acrylic and floated in a hand-painted wood frame. The frame is backed with fluorescent acrylic which makes the piece look like it is backlit.
This piece is also available in a smaller 32 x 35.5 x 4 cm edition (£450). The backing can also be in a variety of colours.
For the duration of my sale I’ll be offering this piece at just £600 - five hundred pounds off my usual price.

Coloured outlines trace the iconic shapes of the London skyline. This piece is created from an original photograph taken from the top of BT Tower.
The image is printed directly onto the back of a thick piece of acrylic and backed with dichroic film, a unique 'holographic' type photographic film. The combination produces a unique effect - the colours appear to change as you walk across the image. The outlines are different colours, depending on where they are viewed from. The shot taken in a photographic studio (with the lights reflected into the picture) illustrates this effect.

Shapes, outlines and colours form a big part of my work. This piece is created from a graphic of the Greateer London boroughs. Each borough has it’s own individual, distinctive shape - an appropriate symbol of such a diverse city, full of personality.
Each borough was indiviually laser-cut and then pieced together like a jigsaw onto a strong acrylic board. Battens on the back make it very easy to hang.

One of the many many things I love about London are its signs and maps. Yes I am a London nerd! This piece is inspired by my favourite map of all: the London Underground. I’ve always seen it as a work of art, more than a functional map.
For this piece I wanted to see what an abstract interpretation of the map would look like. I have coloured in every single circle representing the 270 stations with different vibrant colours. The sizes of the dots is randomly chosen to give the piece a more abstract, haphazard shape.
The Art of The Underground is very complex to create. The artwork is printed onto transparent film and placed inside a frosted white perspex box, polished to a curve on the sides. More than 2000 L.E.D lights are placed behind this film to bathe the coloured dots in a hypnotic hazzy blur that both troubles and intrigues our eyes.

I love the shape of the Thames, especially this stretch from Chiswick to Woolwich, probably the most recognisable part of the river.
This piece is comprised of 15 separate layers of coloured acrylic, each one laser-cut in the shape of the river and placed around the outside of the previous layer.
You can see the river in its most recognisable shape in the centre, in light blue. Each coloured layer is the same distinctive shape of the Thames - it simply gets larger and wider with each colour, until it becomes this gorgeous cloud-like abstract shape.

The iconic shape of the river Thames has always appealed to me, and not just because of Eastenders.
Father Thames really is a feat of engineering. The path of the river, from Chiswick to Woolwich, is laser-cut in cobalt-blue acrylic. This is then layered into a huge black acrylic box. Hundreds of L.E.D lights are then placed inside the box, along the path of the river. These lights are computer controlled to switch on and off at certain times which mimics the flow of the river at a hypnotic, mesmerising speed. Click on the video link to see the movement in action.
Father Thames is made to order. Because of the complexity of construction it can usually be created and delivered in around 4-5 weeks.
