The Busted Gentleman

Inspired by the idealised forms of classical antiquity, 'The Busted Gentleman' candle series takes its inspiration from the weathered and sometimes broken remains of what has survived the intervening centuries, from that time and place to the present. It's precisely the imperfections inflicted by the violence of time on those once carefully crafted artefacts where we often appreciate the greatest of beauty, awed by that juxtaposition of purposeful design by hand coupled with randomness of ruin, perhaps seeing it as an allegory for our own lives and times.
