Guinness Made of More Film
At the beginning of this year I took part in a project for Guinness where I produced 12 porcelain figures which climbed, rowed and walked atop a 2 tonne 12 foot pint of Guinness made by many amazing artists and designed/curated by the wonderful David Wilson at Blinkart.
Here you can see the epic making of including when I was visited in my studio.

The Guinness Monument - Blinkart
At the beginning of the year I was asked by the wonderful people at Blinkart to create 10 figures in collaboration with the illustrator Rob Hunter for a sculpture for Guinness.
Here’s a bit about the project
‘Blinkart was commissioned by Saatchi and Saatchi to create a physical piece to celebrate the history of Guinness from 1759 to the present day, as well as making an accompanying film to launch their new brand strategy “Made Of More”. In response we built a twelve foot, two ton sculptured plinth which depicts the story of Guinness in the round, conceived and designed by David Wilson.’
The ‘Guinness Monument’ is now installed in their Storehouse in Dublin and the project has been featured in the June issue of Monograph, Creative Review’s pull out publication, where you can see a double page spread of the making of my porcelain figures.
To find out more about the project and the other great artists and designers involved check out Blinkart!
