Typewriter
I’ve always loved the 70s and 80s typewriters with its hammer keys, and the satisfying swish and click when they hit the ink tape and transfer onto the paper. Hours were spent just enjoying the buttons rather than writing the next novel. Inevitably, the ink dried out and the typewriter gathered dust – but not this one.
Surrounding the typewriter, vibrant paint has been scraped across the aluminium creating a piece which is both textured and smooth, and detailed and blurred. Shining exposed aluminium bring the typewriter into sharp focus as it reflects nearby light.

Retro Collection 2019
Retro Collection
Sparked by a recent rediscovery of my old ghettoblaster, tv, camera, typewriter and cassette tapes, my new Retro Collection revisits my memories of these classic 1980s relics. Each piece in the collection takes one of these 80s symbols as their focal point, layering them with bold painted abstraction. Vibrant neon paint is dripped, poured and scraped over the metal reflecting a sense of the restlessness of the 1980s with its non-stop development of exciting new technologies
