Red velvet thoughts

Red, burgundy, blood, maroon, wine, scarlet, firebrick, rose, auburn, ruby, and lust, there is something about red, the consistency of it that draws me in. I want to explore its intensity, and dabble in its rich oeuvre. It speaks of energy, power, and strength. It raises blood pressures, it take no victims in its hunger. It’s a colour that makes me feel powerful, gives me strength like no...

Susie MacMurray

Creating beautiful drawings, site-specific architectural installations and tactile sculptures, Susie Macurray should be a name on everyone’s lips. Her work is a soft whisper of sensual beauty.

Nuria Fester, When Someone Melts a Menhir

Located just passed the busy cultured streets in Friedrichstrasse, Hamish Morrison is my kind of gallery.

BERLIN

Some photos from a recent trip to the fascinating city, I wish I could have been there for longer, maybe a month at the least to truly understand all aspects of the city.

Well, mine is Berlin.

Statement

My practice incorporates knowledge of minimalism and a fascination with the juxtaposition of materials, the constant push and pull battle of my control with the object’s natural physicality. I find content in substances used in the urban surroundings, materials such as concrete, gloss paint and glass.
