About David

 I have been a multimedia artist for 25 years making colourful glass lamps, bowls, and abstract sculptures. At the same time I made two sided ceramics sculptures (see below). While at art college I painted quite a few pictures, my most recent work involves acrylic and collage,where I am selling NFT's of them. I enjoy photography and sell my images. I also have three published children's books with Austin Macauley Publishers. (See Menu)

​

​While at Plymouth art college I invented a new technique in fusing glass together which enables me to make fused 3D glass sculptures. Some sculptures can have pieces of glass as thin as 3mm, these pieces can run horizontally or vertically without air pockets occurring.  To achieve this I build the mould around the glass, instead of making a mould for the glass.
But before I do this I stick the pieces of glass I have made together with super glue to get an idea of what the finished piece will look like.
I then pour quarts and plaster mix over the whole sculptor encasing it. Once dried I put it into a kiln and take the glass up to liquid so that it fuses together.

​

I made my colourful ceramic sculptures as I wanted to express myself better.
Because I like telling stories I decided to make sculptures that have two sides to them like a two-page book, with each one telling a true story. Some of my inspiration is fueled by thinking back to episodes in my life that I think were comical. The rest of my inspiration comes from deep thinking about life around us, and why we are here.
My sculptures are mainly ceramic, but I also use gold and silver leaf, liquid gold and silver, resin, paper, and jewellery. My ceramics sculptures have been described as philosophical quirky Pop Art, which are mostly humorous.
