Commission for a house in Bristol
There's often a serendipitous aspect to the work I make, that can manifest in really unexpected ways. So it was with this lovely opportunity to produce three bespoke works for a spectacular home here in Bristol.
I was invited round to view the project, maybe halfway into what was clearly a major refurbishment, involving a significant new build extension that was being grafted onto the body of a substantial Edwardian home.
The client wanted to discuss ideas for three new artworks that would be specifically tailored to fit particular rooms really well.
The minute I walked into the double height atrium at the front of the house, I knew that there would be a fabulous opportunity to create an ultra tall piece that would span both levels, creating views from both the glazed upper walkway, and the entrance hall on the ground floor.
Having cut Motorik / TWO into 9 pieces previously, it was a relatively small further step to chop it into 27 pieces and stack them in a new rhythm, making for a bespoke edit of the work at around 4.8m high.
The three main works are available from short editions, and can be tailored to fit specific locations. Two of the pieces are also available as limited edition works on paper.
