‘Buffer Girls’ is a mashup between the mighty Sheffield Forgemasters steelworks and the equally mighty buffer girls who had a fearsome reputation if a man were to dare wander into their workshops. The cutlery feet are a frankly obvious nod to their skill in buffing up knives and forks to a glassy shine*
*Note from John: Apparently the cutlery feet are inaccurate as they buffed spoons and not sharp knives and forks. But as I’ve said many times before as I wave my artistic licence about my head, spoons would have looked crap!

About the artist

Woodcut printmaking slows me down and allows me to put great industry into the simplest mark. It also offers the magic of happenstance and unpredictability which allows no end of inspiration and frustration, but mainly inspiration. I made a conscious decision to fully embrace two dimensions so my work is right on the surface of the paper. I make no apologies for being the polar opposite of the ‘Star Wars’ special effects team but I don’t believe that my design rigor is any less sophisticated; I create restriction to search for creativity. You should try it, restriction is actually very liberating!
