Final call for a ‘Picture of Sheffield’

Thanks to everyone who has already sent in a photograph. Anybody planning to send one in needs to get a move on.

It is getting close to the Yorkshire Artspace Open Studio Studio event so I will be closing photo submissions for the ‘Picture of Sheffield’ that I am creating.

The cut off date is Sunday 8 November. So if you want to take part you need to submit a picture before then.

New Public Artwork

Last week I finished a new public artwork which can be seen on Fitwilliam Street in Sheffield.

It was commissioned by MAF Properties for their new student flats accommodation. It is a design etched onto the glass balustrade of the first floor and can be seen from the street.

no images were found

The design is abstract and based on a composition of curved arcs which cross and intersect while flowing across the nine glass panels.

A line between

A line Between is a video produced as part of my Yorkshire Artspace Micro Grant for the Castlegate Festival. The video is an animated slide show made out of photographic images taken during a walk around the area.

My intention was to explore the area and collect images. I was trying to get a feel for the area, get to know it better and decide how I would use the architecture of the Castlegate quarter to produce one of my digital drawings.
