Ping pong funding is cut in the run up to 2012. One solution to the short fall could come in the form of the blue fence that surrounded the site of the development. This design is intended to be made from cheap or in this case free material. By resizing the table to 8′ x 4′ to fit with most sheet materials used on building sites it is intended to engage the public in temporary use of public space and inspire a love for the game.

Installed here in the new arboretum in Barking town square.

A product 0f 2012.

Tool that will mark defects in the road as you ride over them. Collectively the marks will become so big that the bumps will be easy to avoid. The city will feel smooth.

Buy a bag of potatoes making sure that it contains at least 13 potatoes. Cut in half and carve a letter into each.

One of the best slogans of the Olympic development. Depending on how you feel about the event you can re organize the words to fit your politics.

My personal favorite.

I wanted to make some more room on our shelves, so i removed all the books that i hadn’t read. I wanted to  celebrate this process of grouping, so created a piece of furniture that is truly bespoke.

Inspired by the chaos in a stack of odd cups. I want to generate an order from this and develop new sets  and new product. Work in progress…

I am interested in exploring the connections between objects, the common threads that link object histories to people and places. These chairs were all found discarded on London streets, all sharing the experience of being broken and unwanted. Using ratchet straps I have chosen to create a set, offering them a new life through the process of repair. Work in progress…

This is a table made for from recycled 2×1″ pine with folded steel legs.
