Iksentrik show coverage

My solo show at Ik’sentrik in Bath is now up and running.
(Click the photos below to enbiggen.)

Thanks to everyone who attended the opening. Sorry if I didnt get a chance for a proper chat.

The gallery space below the shop is open to the public every day till the end of April. Pleas do try and make it along as this is probably the biggest show of my works that will be in the UK for many years to come.

Amnesia Primm

Poor Amnesia has no short term memory. She simple cannot afford it. Unfortunately she does not remember this fact. This sadly leads to terrible bouts of paranoia. She is convinced that someone else is living in her house with her, though she has never actually seen them. Things change position without her recalling moving them. Food is eaten when she is out of the room and her books and letters rearrange themselves on the shelves. She has taken to locking each and every door as she leaves the room in an attemptĀ  to hinder the interloper. However keeping track of all the different keys is extremely taxing.

One of Stephan LePodd’s adventuring machines. Over the years Stephan has commissioned various vehicles and contraptions to aid his speculative travels around the planet. From flying platforms to burrowing torpedoes. This slightly egotistical creation is mostly used around the city on high days and holidays.
