Thanks to all the organisers ( & Curator ) for putting together an amazing show, the artists I shared walls with, for putting us up and of course to everyone who came to the show.

My last and final artwork in the ‘Traces of Humanity’ exhibition at Noho Gallwry Studios comes in the shape of a sculpture. This 3D-printed sculptural model interprets the fluctuating coastal shelf of Gibraltar near Gorham’s Cave, translating geological processes into a tactile, translucent form. Layered lattices and vertical extrusions evoke erosion, sediment build-up and the constant negotiation between land and sea. The fragile filament strands echo tidal pull, wind abrasion and time’s slow carving of the limestone cliffs. Simultaneously precise and unstable, the work sits between mapping and abstraction, science and speculation. By compressing millennia of geological change into a compact object, the piece invites close inspection and reflection on Gibraltar’s vulnerable coastal threshold.

For the ‘Traces of Humanity’ exhibition at I have produced a Triptych and a 3D model. The triptych explores the fluctuating coastal shelf of Gibraltar through time, anchored at Gorham’s Cave. The top panel presents the Rock of Gibraltar in daylight, a geological constant framing Gotham’s Cave within layered limestone cliffs. The second panel shifts to sunset, where warm light transforms the cave and surrounding rock, emphasizing erosion, shadow, and human scale. The third panel departs from representation into an artist’s impression: a sculptural map of the coastal shelf, tracing erosion, sea-level change, and movement over ninety thousand years. Together, the panels connect observation, atmosphere, and deep time, revealing Gibraltar’s coast as an evolving geological narrative.

Humbled to have been asked to be part of this group show in London this month. The opening for the London Noho Studios Gallery will be this Thursday 21st May at 6pm. Special thanks to curator and for organising the event.

The exhibition pay tribute to the marks humanity has left behind exploring self knowledge, history and everyday moments of human existence. Close focus has been paid to the UNESCO protected site of Gorham’s Cave in Gibraltar where the 1st adult Neanderthal Skull was ever found in the world.

In my 4 part series I explore The Flactuating Costal Shelf from Gotham’s Cave. How the rock formations and the land around has changed over the last 90,000 years.

I’ve produced a large triptych series of paintings and a 3D model sculpture in my response to the project.

Silk & Sacrifice
29cm x 21cm
Oils on Moleskin

Silk & Scarifice debuts in the up and coming ‘Running with Scissors’ .yo exhibition this week in Berlin at .galerie .

The painting juxtaposes innocence, vulnerability, and sacrifice through a carefully constructed visual tension between the human figure and the calf. The cropped female body in a red dress immediately evokes associations with blood, passion, desire, martyrdom, and sin, positioning the figure within a long tradition of religious and cultural symbolism in which the female body is both sanctified and morally scrutinised.

When drafting Silk & Sacrifice I tried to pay close attention to Francisco de Zurbarán’s Agnus Dei (Lamb of God, in 1640 which hangs at El Prado in Madrid). I tired to mirror that profound thematic core: the exploration of sacrifice, innocence, and redemption through the symbolic presence of an animal in intimate proximity to human elements. Trying to have that deep Christian iconography while employing stark compositional restraint to evoke emotional and spiritual tension.

Many thanks to curator .aguad for putting together an excellent show.
