This ongoing project explores the refuges that can shelter us in the dark times of modern life. In a culture where religious engagement is at an all time low and isolation and depression are commonplace, people have to look elsewhere to find their community. I was lucky to grow up around music lovers and spend weekends enjoying live music. Many poeple find their community in supporting their sports team. Others meet like-minded friends at the gym or through volunteering. The purpose of this project is to acknowledge the isolation that poeple experience in the western world and appreciate the places that combat isolation. I love taking on commissions; send me a picture of the place that shelters you in the rain and I’ll make you a bespoke piece that means a lot more than a mass produced piece from a chain department store.
