Site Gallery 2012

These images were used as full screen backgrounds for the 2012/2013 version of the Penworks.net site. They’re a mixture of Maltese and London nature and landscapes. I came back from Malta at the end of July 2012 and immediately missed the sun, and the colour of that world. But then I spent a long day at Hyde Park, and then...

The Art and Science of Survival

I like Blurb books. I’ve made a few, but my favourite is a collection of poems created to match images initially grouped only because they ‘looked good together’. The idea was to start with the image, then think of a matching title, then write the poem. As an experiment in creating a collection of work which is connected, and with...

Baby Saatchi

(Updated 2018 for archive.) Baby Saatchi was a project about content, and centred around the idea of ‘Rogue, Sasstacular’. It embodied numerous sources interlinking scraped image feeds plus additional content pulled from gadgets, science, tech, design, fashion, travel and comics, so creating new identified (branded) content.
