A box made of boxes made of boxes made of boxes...


Shane McAdams

I came across this artist by accident the other day. Some of his pieces in which he uses just ball point pens are really stunning. I like the graduation between the translucent colours and the intense mass of dark ink.

Lost in Lace // Birmingham

I went to this exhibition whilst I was in Birmingham. Each piece used lace as a medium and it was amazing  seeing the versatility of the different ways it can be used. These are a few of my favourites.





Lace wound to create this geometric pattern, then lit underneath by neon lights which faded through different colours.  It was a beautiful and quite surreal sculpture.

Collage from cardboard boxes. Inspired by aerial maps and nets of boxes.
