My stupid face

Hi, I'm Robert. I'm a multidisciplinary artist based in the New Forest. I take the form of an obsessive magpie, collecting shiny (and sometimes dull) objects and imagery from the world around me and reshaping them into something new.

I take great fascination in the landscapes that surround us and in how we interact with them, not only the beautiful and majestic, but also the bleak, abandoned, and unloved. I seek out the wonderful in the mundane. I’m also very keen on tea.

Take a look around, and get in touch if you are interested in collaborations or commissions.
