over the last few years i’ve been working on several series of drawings on the backs of old railway tickets

this series is called unlocked

here’s one of them – to see more, click here

for several years i’ve been making art on the theme of earthsongs

some of my rusted and mixed media artworks are in this series

i also did a series of 6 drawings on paper bags with earthsongs as the title

earthsongs 1 –

I hand stitched around the edge of each bag with black perle cotton

inside the bag is a piece of rusted paper with the words from the drawing written on it

i made this scroll from postal packaging and other upcycled papers which I’ve rusted using various solutions

a coating of shellac intensifies the colour and seals the papers, which are then glued together with pva glue

one of my original poems is also hand-written in one line from beginning to end of the scroll

stitching has also been added for extra texture, and found wire used for the closure
