At first I was going to make a poster, but decided to just take the piss and make a giant drawing pin and carry it with me on the way to school. It's made from a giant foam ball that was split in two. It took 3 days to make, but was well worth it! Hope you enjoy it!
A 35 acre subterranean Cold War City that lies 1000 feet beneath Corsham. Built in the late 50s this massive city complex was designed by Government personnel in the event of a nuclear strike. A former Bath stone quarry the city, code named Burlington, was to be the site of the main Emergency Government War Headquarters - the hub of the Country's alternative seat of power outside London.
Over a kilometre in length, and boasting over 60 miles of roads. Blast proof and completely self-sufficient the secret underground site could accommodate up to 6,000 people, in complete isolation from the outside world, for up to three months.
My current work combines aerial photography, maps, and satellite imagery. I also find myself drawn to the more minute systems of the microbial world. I enjoy the play in scale between magnified microbial life forms and remote sensing images of huge tracts of land. Both scales deal with the translation of scientific information into a visual form. At times these separate bodies of work merge. The overlap is seen in vessel-like arteries of water, tundra pools that look cellular, and microbes that swim through topographic lines.

Let’s face it, sometimes there is a need to launch your lunch or defend your dinner, and this is the perfect utensil to do it with. It’s easy to use; simply load up a particularly mushy pea or corn niblet, aim, pull back the spring-loaded handle and watch your food take flight.
SEVERAL years ago, I built a robot whose sole purpose in life was to create an even smaller robot just like himself... So much like himself, that this robot endeavoured to create yet another tiny robot, ad infinitum. This continued for a while until an extremely tiny speck of robot tried to endow purpose upon a cloud of molecules with ruinous result.It's really a virtual art project that you can manipulate. Try it out yourself! http://screamyguy.net/fractal/index.htm -via Dump Trumpet
