A 1950's Mannequin was given to me by my friend Anne Black a serious collector of beautiful reclaimed things. It sat around for at least 6 months. Then after the UK Election, I started working on her and realised stripped from the vintage make-up and breasts she was quite androgynous. Cracked Planet! there is no denying we all need to do our bit to help climate change and be kinder to each other, especially the bankers and politicians. 

Now in My store a New Collection of my Photographic Montage Work. Some Limited Editions, all on Beautiful Hahnemuhle bmboo Paper. 

Thanks to Reclaim Magazine for making me Featured Artist This Month. 

A really nice interview about my work and use of reclaimed materials.

Burning letters  Modelled by Sarah Yamot. The set was photographed first then the model.The flames were photographed from burning bits of paper in the garden. Then I decided that as the letters were burning it needed smoke and sparks escaping.I burnt an old piece of mount and photographed it inside a frame. Finally putting all together in photoshop. The print is lovely on Bamboo hahnemuhle fine art paper. It's a romantic image, but it is about starting again having lost love in a savage break- up. 

New to Mels Art Lamps Fine Art Prints will be available soon ! This one is called What Happened to the Kid
