May
In May, to end my time at the Slade, I exhibited work in the final year show. From the Saturday 23rd of May to Thursday the 28th, the undergraduate degree show was open to the public. Some examples of my work can be found on the Slade website here!
Cast wax tongue ball, hard plated in 24-karat gold.
chewed lost wax
Disturbed wall murals
installation shot
Discoloured steel rods with blacked bronze tongue tips.
Green plastic sword with a painted concrete weight.
Chewed lost wax.
Concrete lump used as doorstop. Having scanned this object I made the animation below.

Having executed a big wall painting of a face previously in the year, I decided to carry on that thread with this angrier version.

At the Woburn research centre space I worked on a proposal to execute some large scale drawings. Various permanent markers and graphite pencils. I require assistance to complete the five drawings on time. The green drawing 'Oscar' spanned 3metres x 3metres, while the black drawing 'Hector' spanned 1.75metres x 2.5metres.
January/February
Using felt-tip pen, I drew from the middle outwards. The simple method formed layered circles, varying in shade, quality and depth of colour. The circle measured 1.5metres x 1.5metres.
Steel cuboid with cube monitor. A video of an animated fist.
A pair of Lonsdale boxing gloves encased in spheres of concrete.
Wax lump in DeWalt work boots.
Forks in a clay cone. Clothed with trousers and boots. While hardening the cracks in the clay allowed space for me to slot forks into the frame below. When shown it was placed in the centre.
Semi concrete sphere, dressed with trousers and brown brogues.
Primitive face, wood, brass hook, dressing gown, battered green canvas.
Waste lump, spray painted, with black boot lace.
Waste lump with ink spots.
December
Marvin Gaye's 'Let's get it on' played to a stone 
November
The painted wall and wooden spear are separate works. The spear is jammed between the ceiling and the floor. Together they're 'Face Lift'.
The original big face drawing.
Template face for the wall.
As a child, the British athlete Linford Christie was a hero of mine. When he prepared himself in the starting blocks he repeatedly visualised himself winning the race. This thought process fascinated me. This fascination became a starting point. Using birchface plywood I cut out a formal line drawing of his face. One in which you could look through, very thin, while having presence in a space. The face measure 1.25metres by 2 metres.
October
Using approximately 80 brass hinges, I bolted them together in a random pattern. The process was tedious, forming bacteria like structure. Artist Matthew Derbyshire described it as “fucking ugly”. This made me quite proud. I found the resulting object eerily problematic. Not wanting to leave this as just another art object I decided to keep it activate by projecting through it. Now it became an integral part of a large setup. The object itself is fairly disturbing reminiscent of an implement of torture.
August
Animated .gif file. Continuous loop.
March
A pencil, sharpened at both ends, is placed in the mouth of a primed pair of chattering teeth.
February
From a scavenged hardwood desk, I made a small wooden structure which resembled a miniature monolith. I then painted this in green gloss paint.
*My attempt at a digital model can found in the 3D section.
September
Over the summer period I produced two images.
December
In December at the Slade, all undergraduates are invited to Woburn Square. Here students are asked to participate within a context of presentation and curation. Basically an excuse for the undergraduates to show en mass. In 2007 I showed a number of works. Below are some examples.
Two torches with two ying-yang meditation balls
November
The two glyphs come from the computer game Doom. These two images were the basis for the two paintings, and papermache reliefs.
Blue: 200% maximum health.
Green: Invulnerability
An artwork I had made in a dream. My attempts to make this failed. I hope to revisit this in the future.
January
The inspiration for the undulating bathmat came from a hallucinatory experience. A feeling of loss of control, and nausea. The anodyne/kitsch sea shell design is very specific for the feeling I wanted to achieve. Undulating Bath mat video
Photocopy of William Anders' Earthrise (1968) with orange highlighter.
My attempt to save a supermarket lettuce.
