I've loved making this one to the music of Frida in the background of my studio. A bit of relief in lockdown to make something joyous and free.

This painting reminds me of aboriginal painting on charred bark. It started with lots of random colours swiped, poured then sprayed, then washed away in the bath keeping a fraction of the texture. Still not happy I plastered over it all and scrapped back, followed by yellow spraying. I love the 3d effect from this it's a joy to have around lifts my spirit.

This fabulous Lamp has exceptional patina. A reclaimed Industrial copper spray can used by a farmer. The straps removed, the can cleaned and loose rust removed, after wiring hair pin legs were applied to a wooden base. The bracket which originally held the back straps were used to hold the light switch echoing the original strapping. The pierced wire lamp shade then hand painted with wax applied to the copper. A really beautiful lamp the only one in the world!!
