Taken back in the summer of 2020, these photographs of a meadow kick-started something of an obsession with nailing the in-situ impressionism of fields. There was something so beautiful about this expanse of flowering grasses, so perfect, that I went all a bit weak-kneed and had to be dragged back to the car. One day…

Inspired by Murano glass paperweights and produced for The Kick-About No.84, another clutch of painterly orbs.

Fashioned from quick-drying plaster, rawlplugs, feathers and wire, these fledgling ‘borogroves’ were produced for the Lewis Carroll-themed Kick-About No.82. As of writing, these little bird things are roosting on various surfaces in my house. I suspect they’re waiting to appear in some silly short film at some point when time allows…
