This is my latest Teddy in a Toaster work. Althoug This is my latest Teddy in a Toaster work. Although it's Sooty. He's still a bear so I guess he still counts as a Teddy. The toaster is PAT (electrical safety!) tested so in theory you could still use it. Nor sure Sooty would appreciate it though #makeitbathspa #kenwoodtoaster #kenwood #sooty #sootyshow #sootyandsweep #newyorkgalleries #newyorkgallery #londongallery #londongalleries
'They call me mellow yellow'. This is another one 'They call me mellow yellow'. This is another one of my Block works. This one is painted with acrylic paint only, which is unusual for me. I then tore into it to create the face, taking advantage of the elastic properties of thickly applied acrylic. This one makes me smile. #contemporaryartist #contemporarysculpture #contemporarypainting #figurepainting #figuresculpture #makeitbathspa #londongallery #londongalleries #newyorkgalleries #newyorkgallery #yellowpainting #yellowsculpture #yellowart #mellowyellow #mellow #artofinstagram
I have been making a series of works on wood. I ca I have been making a series of works on wood. I call them block paintings although they don't fit neatly into the paintings category as they are 3D. Are they paintings or sculptures? They are usually painted on both sides. So they can either be placed so the viewer can see both sides, or alternately placed one way then the other  They started as part of my 3D toaster works as they were made to fit into the toaster slot. But now they've moved out of the toaster. This is 'Seated blue man', the front side. #blockpainting #contemporaryartist #contemporarypainting #bluepainting #bathspamakes #oilstickpainting #oilstick #londongallery #londongalleries #newyorkgallery #newyorkgalleries #figurepainting #seatedman  #paintingorsculpture

These are images from my Homepage.
It looks much more sleek and I've added my recent works and sorted them so it's a lot more coherent. I've also written a review of artplacer where I've got my first virtual exhibition 'Broken things'. You can find my review on the Homepage and Posts page of my website #newyorkgalleries #newyorkgallery #londongallery #londongalleries #contemporarysculpture #contemporaryartist #bathspamakes #artplacer #artplacerapp
This is an one which I really like and it inspired This is an one which I really like and it inspired me to start painting again. Painted on an old door which I had cut into sections to fit in a toaster. I think it works as a 3D piece but the block paintings on wood also look good on their own. I'll post some images of more of these soon. #bathspamakes #contemporaryart #contemporarysculpture #toasterart #newyorkgallery #newyorkgalleries #londongallery #londongalleries #contemporaryphotography #fineartphotography #smileyart #smileyartfacepainting #bathschoolofartanddesign

This is the finished toaster - ready for Tigger. I This is the finished toaster - ready for Tigger. I love the texture and it feels really weird when you touch it. The colour is so bright it makes your eyes hurt.

Tigger is going green! The toaster will be orange. Tigger is going green! The toaster will be orange. These ones should be shinier than the other ones I've done as the colour mixed into the silicone  is much more opaque.#tigger #contemporarysculpture #contemporaryart #tiggerlovesdisney #toasterart #toyart #bathspamakes #bathschoolofartanddesign #locksbrookcampus #newyorkgalleries #newyorkgallery #londongallery #londongalleries
This is a studio shot I took in the photography st This is a studio shot I took in the photography studio at Bath School of Art of my Burnt toast and Jam 3D work. The surface really glistens - it looks slimy. Repellent but attractive at the same time. #bathspamakes #contemporaryart #contemporarysculpture #toasterart #burnttoast #burnttoastcreative #burnttoastandjam #newyorkgallery #newyorkgalleries #londongallery #londongalleries #locksbrookcampus #bathschoolofartanddesign
Burnt toast and jam! This is my latest work. I u Burnt toast and jam! This  is my latest work.
 I used silicone on the outside of the toaster which I coloured to look like the cheapest Jam you can get with my secret ingredient. #bathspamakes  #contemporaryart  #contemporarysculpture  #toasterart  #burnttoast #burnttoastcreative  #burnttoastandjam #newyorkgallery  #newyorkgalleries #londongallery  #londongalleries #locksbrookcampus  #bathschoolofartanddesign
This is the teddy bear from the photography studio This is the teddy bear from the photography studio with the camera and lights in a previous post. It looks almost black and white here. Another poignant piece.

I spent time in the Photography studio at Locksbro I spent time in the Photography studio at Locksbrook Road taking shots of my work. This is one of my clay bear pieces - this one is unfired. I use a black background as it seems to suit the work better than bright colours. Probably because the themes of my work are pretty dark usually. The bear looks too brightly lit but the actual shots are fine - I'll post some later. The camera is almost horizontal so one tripod leg is weighted to stop it toppling over. #bathspamakes #bathschoolofartanddesign #locksbrookroad #locksbrookcampus #contemporaryart #contemporarysculpture #newyorkgalleries #londongalleries #canonphotography

I sawed a toaster in half, as you do. Although su I sawed a toaster in half, as you do.  Although surprisingly Simon the Metalwork Technician at Bath School of Art said that no one had ever asked if they could cut a toaster in two before. The angle grinder cut through the top shell  like a knife through butter but hacksawing the rest took a while. Tigger looks worried but still upbeat.  I've combined Tigger with one of my Board paintings. This one says Pain Intolerable.  I'm not sure Disney would approve but I don't care.  PS please don't try this at home it plays havoc with your toast #Tigger #combinesart  #contemporarysculpture  #tiggerart  ##Disneyart #londongalleries #newyorkgalleries #bathspamakes #bathspastillmakes #ba_fine_art #morphyrichards #morphyrichardstoaster
Clay slip fired toy bears. These pieces are so fra Clay slip fired toy bears. These pieces are so fragile...the group was kicked while on display and destroyed. With the  unconsciably callous treatment of the Ukrainians  by Putin it seemed an appropriate piece to post.  So many innocent lives destroyed and shattered. #artistsagainstputin
