Elephantman London, United Kingdom
  Back to profiles

I have come from street art, putting elephant sculptures out in opportune locations in cities in the UK and other countries, and moved into installation and performance with a series of installations called Love Machines. These are experiential pieces in which participants are invited to undertake a ritual which uses the placebo effect to remove fear.

My artistic practice has moved from simply making things to put out on the streets or for people to buy, and these were primarily elephant sculptures made from concrete, earth or hemp, or elephant themed prints and ceramic plaques, all rooted in the street art practice. In the past 18 months or so this has developed into creating art installation spaces called Love Machines (so called because by removing fear you automatically have more love) where people can use intention, movement and ritual to remove limiting beliefs such as fear, guilt or unworthiness for example. These devices, based on my explorations into the nature of reality, have proved to be very popular and have travelled to Miami, Las Vegas, Denver and back to California where the first one was made. I have made other versions of the Love Machine concept for the UK and have taken to the streets with a pop-up version in London and Bristol.
