MIXED MEDIA INSTALLATION, VARIOUS DIMENSIONS 2022>

A ghoulish phosphorescent skull garnished with a sketchy wreath of wheat and two swivelling ping pong balls that follow you around the room.

A congregation of gnarly gourds poking out from a tangle of ivy.

Four fat red candles (like the kind used either  for decorating tables as a Christmas centre piece, or for a satanic altar); half melted with pleasingly viscous ossified dribbles.

Nine apothecary jars glowing with lustrous powders.

One large onyx pestle and mortar with ground artists pigment and several hand rolled pastels.

An antique taxidermized parrot purchased on Ebay.

An enchanted emerald from Oz.

Several compacts of used green stage makeup and indelibly stained sponges, variegated through multiple chromatic applications like mouldy segments of cheese.

One crystalline goblet frothing over with Hammer Horror style home-made blood: red paint, ketchup and egg white.

A bubbling beer stein oozing with spooky emissions.

A pair of knobbly rubber witch hands crudely spaghettied with thick black veins.

One large luxury lobster boiled to a brilliant blush.

A display of open oysters glistening with erotic promise.

And a lizard caught mid tongue flick.
