Here you will find behind the scenes snippets, vigenttes and occasional deep dive into my projects and commissions.
Upon entering one of the site’s huge halls, I was greeted by four gleaming white ABB Robotics arms moving precisely, yet gracefully across an expanse of fine grey gravel. Fitted with arrow tipped end effectors, the robots’ harmonised movements were unnerving, yet utterly beguiling, and they formed the foundation of Jason Bruges Studio’s latest technical and philosophical marvel called The Constant Gardeners.
Due to the complexity of the project, and nearly 4 years of development, Jason Bruges Studio wanted to conduct the final trials and stress tests at full scale prior to being shipped to Japan.
This multi week testing schedule required a larger space than their London Fields HQ and Production Park provided the perfect secluded location. Ravi and I joined the team during the last day of that testing timetable, with shipping containers already docked outside awaiting their sea bound cargo.
I want to extend my warmest thank you to Jason, Adam, Martin, Richard and Beckie - you all made me so welcome on the day! Thank you to Louise Benson at Elephant Magazine for the assignment, and to Sara & Sophie at Sutton communications agency for their assistance liaising with Jason Bruges Studio.
