It's been a very busy week in the studio, lots of 5am starts to get some real work done before I go to work-work. I've been making a series of small works, each focused on a different element that is found in the human body. I'm still very much on that we are star-stuff tangent!

More press

So here's a picture of me looking incredibly uncomfortable and holding a brush upside-down (at the photographers insistence).
