My solo show ‘Weight of Light’ closed with a bang recently. It was truly an honour to be a speaker on the panel for The Poetry and Music of Science focus day with Professor Tom McLeish to coincide with the launch of his new book. In the background you can see Empyrean, a piece that emerged from our multidisciplinary collaboration with @theordereduniverse . A very inspiring day.

Here are some snaps of one of my large drawings, it’s a good example of the repetition in my practice. It’s on show now at @yorkfestivalofideas . It’s the last weekend of my solo show Weight of Light. There are drawings, video and an immersive installation to calm and soothe you. It was commissioned by @yorkfestivalofideas and supported by @aceagrams and @uniofyork . There are lots of amazing events going on all over York as part of the festival.

Here are some details of one of the two process drawings in my solo show Weight of Light. They were made by catching the drips of resin that fell from optical prisms after I submerged them in black resin. ‘Gravitas’ and ‘Residual’ are records of the large installation made from nearly 1000 optical prisms. Both reference properties of light and distilling an idea through instinct from a nebulous abyss of the unknown. Check out Gravitas at my current solo show as part of @yorkfestivalofideas . It’s the last week to catch this and all the other amazing events in the festival. Weight of Light was supported by @aceagrams and @uniofyork and runs until 16th.

This gives you a sense of the scale of my recent drawings. They’re a lit looser, raw and a significant departure from previous work.
