iVes (Emotional Swiss Army Knife) Collage

15.02.1970
Lewes, UK
Multi disciplinary artist currently working in sculpture using anything i can get my hands on. operating in copenhagen but moving back to melbourne, my hometown for the last 26 years.

um... basically i'm compelled to do this stuff. i get visions and perverse whims and then follow the muse in what ever direction it takes me tweaking here, twisting there, all the while holding an ongoing conversation with myself and the work involving everything from what i had for breakfast to current affairs to how i feel about paris hiltons vacuousness to what books i am reading to thoughts on philosophy to memories of childhood events....anything

inspirations... dali, zen buddhism, the baroque, moebius, chaos theory and its application, street art, steam punk, brett whiteley, music, nature, rodin, van gogh, daumier, the 10,000 things, history, anything edible, absurdism, philosophy, phil hale, gaudi, joel-peter witkin and the word 'celery'.
