Crenelated I, 2025 Calcite alabaster and peperino tuff 9 x 12 x 64 cm / 3.5 x 4.5 x 25 in (Early evening, overcast) Photographed to accompany Alison Bartlett’s beautiful text ‘Five Acts on the Implications of Light’ for the latest issue of Schnitt Magazine @izconstance @schnitt_magazine

I’ve recently taken to photographing my lamp sculptures with medium format film that is much more effective at capturing the material quality of light that each work produces. The depth and richness of the light and its atmospheric effect is mostly lost through the sensors of even the most powerful digital cameras but somehow my old Fuji 6x9 manages to pick it up. This particular piece of alabaster is as deep a red as i’ve ever seen and the richness of light it produces with an incandescent bulb is really something. ‘Red on Block on Block’ Calcite alabaster and peperino tuff 21 x 15 x 53 cm / 8 x 6 x 21 in (Mid morning, blinds closed) (Published in the most recent edition of @schnitt_magazine to accompany some beautiful words about light by @izconstance

By some margin, my largest drawing to date, Vitreledonella richardi (2024). It measures 21 x 29.7 cm and took 18 months to complete, requiring quite a bit of patience (particularly from the collector who commissioned it)! It challenged me in a way no work ever has done. Love, loss, frustration, calm, joy, they all got channeled into it over the months and they all became part of it. I was so relieved when it was finished but within a week I started thinking about the next one i would make this size (in case there is anyone crazy enough to commission one). Massive shout out to the person who commissioned it, to the teams in NY and Zurich who helped me frame it (i wish i had an image to share of the stretcher my Swiss crew made for it!) And last but not least a massive thank you to Dick Young, the teuthologist at The University of Hawaii who put up with me pestering him for so long and who shared the scan from his original image to make the drawing possible at this scale.
