I am an artist based in Central London who creates stop frame animations, paintings, prints and improvised performance using tea leaves.
Incorporating, puppets, drawings and paintings into my work, I include scientific themes such as quantum physics, microbiology and gynecology; I use unusual materials such as champagne wrappers, cling film, wax, sugar and bacteria.
Melting sugary shoes tell of lost love and AB=BA the ironic simplicity of creating new life. Fragments of fairytales and real live experience work together to make images which sometime evoke the pomposity of adults seen through the eyes of a child or turn the logic of the world as we know it on its head.
I am currently working on a long term project, which involves a six day installation of John Milles’ famous ‘Ophelia’ painting created from stop frame animation of bacteria to be shown as a projection on the street in central London. Here the unseen entities animate the painting to challenge our constantly evolving relationship to love death and beauty.

| Flatlanders (2008)
|
|
|
(Duration: 00:04:30)
When I heard that scientists were doing an experiment to try and recreate the conditions that were there at the beginning of the universe at (*CERN in 2008), I thought that it would be like the Breugel's painting, 'The Fall Of Icarus', where the ploughman continues ploughing the field as Icarus falls from the sky; we would probably wouldn't be taking any notice.
What they are doing at CERN is profound and I wanted to make a work of art about it, perhaps for the similar reasons that Jan Van Eyck wanted to create his iconic painting 'The Mystic Lamb' in 1432, this is something that fills me with awe.
So I had a frock made to play the part of Themis holding a pair of perfectly balanced scales and then spent over 12 months creating an Icarus character that simultaneously both falls and flies when he reaches the sun and people that were like Breugel figures who walk aimlessly on the surface of a tea cup. Then, using sounds recorded by scientists at *CERN (in the Infusion Pump Cooling Station), and with help from musician Milton Mermikides http://www.miltonmermikides.com/ we created the sound of Icarus' wings beating.
The final work which depicts a woman riding on a swing carrying perfectly balanced scales.
The High Definition quality of the original installation is lost in this online version. The High Definition version can be viewed by appointment by email:-founder'at'jowonder.com
The original installation was shown in Guildford Cathedral supporting a debate about science and religion chaired by Jim Al-Khalili a British theoretical nuclear physicist, academic, author and broadcaster.

6 Days Goodbye Poems Of Ophelia.
I am combining scientific research into colours and movement of bacteria to create a contemporary version of John Millais Ophelia. There are six days to the installation depicting death as a beautiful form of transformation a returning to the landscape. The public are encouraged to contribute poems to Ophelia via mobile phone text. Exploring a relationship between, old and new, casual text, traditional art and poetry. I am researching into ways of including the public's poetic text contributions into the projection
