Ship of Fools


Ship of Fools was the title of a joint exhibition held in the Yellow Door Gallery, Dumfries, 1st - 18th November 2017

 These are a few images and video's of work I exhibited.

The exhibition was originally to have been a joint retrospective with two other local artists, but as one had to drop out and four others were invited to participate, the exhibition took on a nautical theme inspired by it's title. Almost every thing was therefor made in a panic a few weeks before the exhibition started. Nearly all the old work I had intended to display was no longer relevant.


  A few carved fish


 
    I have recently enjoyed working with copper and gold leaf.
     The automaton in the foreground is entitled 'Walking on Water'

Triple janus head - with seaweed hair



 This is the sea sickness machine - an automaton entitled 'Seven Seas'



Hopefully the retrospective exhibition will be held in spring 2018
