The second day of our installation at the Museum Collections Centre, Birmingham. See below (here) for images of the first day and more info. Thanks to Joe Welden for his assistance today.

Today we began installing our sculpture Trappenkamp at the Museum Collections Centre, Birmingham.

The piece is made from layers of water-jet cut ply. It takes the form of a structure that was influenced by shrines, lodges and ruins. This is the third version of the structure, which has been re-configured from the original piece commissioned by Tate Britain in 2008. It was subsequently shown at Croft Castle in the Meadow Arts exhibition Tell it to the Trees and is now on long term loan to the MCC Birmingham.

Yesterday installation began for our new sculpture at Highfields School, Wolverhampton. The piece is part of Project Dandelion, a large scale project commissioning art for new schools being built in the Wolverhampton area.

The sculpture depicts five crystal forms in laser-cut galvanised steel. Each of the crystals; Morganite, Forsterite, Lonsdaleite, Stolzite and Amethyst, are named after people who are leaders or specialists in various disciplines, representing the various areas of study within the school.

The exhibition is a totally open show that anyone can contribute towards at any point during the six week run. The exhibits were curated by the gallery staff and were constantly re-arranged as new work was added.

Around 260 artworks and objects were included in the exhibition, which is the third version of ‘I am the Warrior’ to date. (see version 1 and version 2)

Some images of works in progress from the last two months. These pieces are now on show in our current exhibition ‘The Infocalypse Stack’ at Ceri Hand Gallery, London.

The pieces in laser cut Oak veneer are part of wall hanging works based on large ritual necklaces. They were painted once cut. The perspex pieces were mounted on bases and form dioramas depicting scenes from a post apocalyptic world. The paintings make up a short looped animation.

The works were cut a Access Space, Sheffield, Black Country Atelier, Birmingham and Coventry University.
