I was invited to have a solo show at PayneShurvell gallery in Shoreditch in 2010. My line of enquiry at the time was around authorship, the creation of value and the production of art.

I commissioned several pieces, intentionally not making them myself and gave credit to all of the crafts people involved.

A slab of marble featuring the scribble of the craftsman who made it, with the name of the headstone company who produced it. A neon light, referencing the ubiquity of their manufacture in art, crediting the maker and displaying the exact amount it cost to produce it. A full series of industrial caster wheels, one set gold plated for the Arabic market, a collection of ready-mades that needed no artistic intervention other than display.

A photo series called ‘Flowers in Shows’ which captured sad and lonely bouquets abandoned at various degree shows, launch events and gallery openings.

These works were interrogating the relationship between artist as author and artist as maker.
