Duet

When they agree and play in harmony the results are uplifting and beautiful.
But when they disagree. And are not on the same page.

It is worrying how quickly things descend into chaos.

The Future Ain’t What it Used to Be!

Opening on the 13th of August (to September 2nd) at Clutter Gallery (163 Main St, Beacon, NY 12508, USA).

My first solo show on the East coast in almost a decade.

“The Future Ain’t What it Used to Be.”
A retro-futuristic look back at how the present doesn’t quite deliver on the promises of the past. A tongue in cheek view of our own world through mechanical eyes from an alternative history.

In part this show represents my reaction to world events over the last few years.

I will be debuting some significant new original pieces. As well as a selection of smaller Mechtorian creations, resin multiples, customised toys and graphic artworks.

You can join the previews list to see all available pieces here: https://clutter.co/gallery-preview-list/
