bronze (74 1/8 x 62 5/8 x 55 7/8 in. /152 x 159 x 142 cm)


the thumbprint is composed of multiple bronze rods.
it is a jewel-like object that shimmers as the light shifts, revealing
subtle gradations of colour.
in editions of six – their seductive contours inviting the viewer to
touch, explore and climb into the
curved centres they create.


'gomli', 2008

'bodyguard', 2008
super formed aluminium (55 1/8 x 74 7/8 x 36 5/8 in. / 140 x 190 x 93 cm)


crafted from inflated aerospace aluminium, cut individually, highly
polished and tinted, four new and unique drunk bodyguards are on show.
these sculptural pieces sway woozily on a single tangent point, balancing,
poised in mid-air, reacting to the lightest of touches. they appear to be weightless.
paradoxically this weightlessness is the result of extreme heaviness.
