ANXIETY (2009)

Mezzotint 75x100mm, from an edition of 10

This print signifies a change of direction in my art - While I was over in Glasgow the recession had just kicked in. It was a time of uncertainty and growing unemployment which in affect created an apprehensive environment. Glasgow was hit very hard. I walked by closing shops and businesses on a daily basis. These works window the anxiety felt by many. 'Agitated', 'Apprehension', 'Appetence', 'Animosity' and 'The New Acquistion' were all made around this time.

THE GIANT WHO HAD NO HEART IN HIS BODY II (2009)

Mezzotint 170x105mm, from an edition of 10

Another illustration for a melancholic fairytale - I set out to do a series based on this tale but found the works became a bit to literal and tired of the idea - I still like these as art works so these two made it onto the blog regardless.

KEEPSAKE I (2008)

Mezzotint 75x90mm, from an edition of 15

Fresh to Glasgow I faced a creative block of what to do next....I collect brooches from my travels and have been gifted many by friends and family. I was feeling homesick one day and decided to draw a selection of brooches given to me by the people I missed - the Keepsake series began. 'Keepsake I' is my favourite and based on a beautiful brooch my mother gave me. It has become more poignant because I lost it.....some lucky person in Glasgow is probably wearing it around town as I write this.....The fine metal detail has become a recurring design in my work so all was not lost.

Facing up to insecurities to make light of and overcome the fears that can plague us - to put it briefly that is the mind-space from which this work originated from.....
