One week left to see my solo exhibition Aves ex Machina at Beinart Gallery!

These new works continue to probe human exceptionalism and its blind spots: how the lives we treat as ‘lesser’ become our first witnesses, and sometimes our last custodians.

Screenvid of shared Pinterest board between singer & 'designer' clearly shows your name as artist. Designer here: bit.ly/4kBFZxt (BA in Design/Communication, should know better). Singer here: bit.ly/41E3a2E. Hope it helps if you decide to pursue. I know firsthand how much energy that takes though 😔

Lacing up 'An Elegant Solution' - finishing touches for my solo show Plasma, Privilege and Perfidy at Beinart Gallery back in 2022. #art #timelapse #surrealism #lace #oilpainting

Process clip: The making of the ornate gas mask that features in my works 'An Elegant Solution', 'Vanitas Mente' and 'Provocateur'. Along with a little of Provocateur's polymer lollipop process. Wild that this was 7 years ago 🙀. Both props are still in great nick. #art #propmaking #steampunk

Propmaking has always been an integral part of my studio practice. This timelapse collage shows a little of the process behind making the anatomical hearts that feature in my Plasma, Privilege and Perfidy series. #art #surrealism #propmaking #3dprinting #ender3

#WIP timelapse video from 'Message in a Bottle', oil on aluminium, back in 2022. Painting these little dudes was a really cool process. Loved helping them emerge... #canary #art #tattoo #surrealism #timelapse

Blowing off steam 💨 with 'Visionary', Bellwether #1, back in 2021. I bloody hate doing timelapses. They're a pain to setup and I almost always get a crick in my neck afterward from trying to keep my fat head out of the lens while painting 😂. They do look cool though 🙄😋 #art #timelapse #steampunk

Damn, it's hard to believe this was 9 years ago! Really doesn't feel like it... 🙃. A little clip of the making process behind my original monocular prop and the initial painting that inspired its inception. It's featured in a number of other works since but this is where it began 🤓. #art #monocular
