SOLAR OVEN

I did a workshop at the Roundhouse in Camden and this is what I made.

















WE made this solar oven from cardbord, aliminum foil and square of glass.























Although it wasn't that sunny it did get really hot.















We cooked potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, aubergines and other veg. Someone cooked some lamb and we had hot bananas with melted chocolate.

SOMETHING BIG

Detail before surface decoration
These were my first two large scale public artworks commissioned for Altnargelvin Hospital in Derry Ireland.
The first is copper and bronze 8.5 ' high multilayerd
cocoon with internal lighting, the second steel 10' high with powder coating.


I am planning to go to see them as I think the bronze and copper will have weathered nicely with  the surface showing some interesting coloring , browns ,blue and greens.
