From October I’m going to be renting again so will need to downsize my studio. There’s therefore never been a better time (from my perspective at least!) for you to take some of my art off my shrinking studio walls. All works for sale are listed on my website. taken in Catford, Lewisham, United Kingdom by @jackoorb

I’ve been thinking a bit about masking tape. Was trying to write a caption for this insta post but it turned into a bit of an essay (see slide 2). Also pictured are…

1,3,4: my tape pile
5: paste production at @henriqueoliveira.studio (sadly I don’t have any pics with the masking tape visible)
6: detail shot of @elljmie ‘s ‘You couldn’t swing a cat in here’ (2026)
7: @jolie.goodman ‘s ‘Hug’ (1999)
8: detail shot of @jolie.goodman ‘s ‘Benjamin’s Bar Mitzvah’ (1994)
9-15: various shots of finished and ongoing pieces of mine featuring masking tape
