ARTIST'S STATEMENT :: Since leaving university in 2003 and hailing from a small town in the
North of England Melvin has been developing his interest in recycling
materials to painstakingly construct images. This has lead him to
constructing lungs out of cigarette packets to portraits of famous
people built out of pushpins. Melvin's work embraces playfulness and
relies a lot on conceptual thinking which he finds rather enjoyable.
His current work mainly consists of exploring the possibilities of the
coloured sticker label a stationary classic and a material which has
inspired some of his most interesting works to date. Keep it up
Melvin!!!
