About the work

My public works often employ the language of self-help or self-improvement, treading the line between what is affirmative in tone and that which borders on authoritarian. In the last year, in an ongoing series of works on paper, I have been exploring the language of the more destructive aspect of self-improvement. These wilfully negative texts embody that which has been present yet unsaid in my practice for many years. The works themselves are made through a process of distressing and erasure, forming a counter to the largely digital techniques that I use to produce my large-scale public works.

Auction close and bidder extension

The auction closes at 9pm, Mon 5th July. However, if a bid is placed in the last two minutes, the auction end time will extend on that lot for an additional two minutes, or until all bidding has ceased. This is called Popcorn Bidding or Bidder Extension and gives all bidders an equal chance of winning.

Bid Increments

£50 increments for bids of £300 – £1,000

£100 increments for bids of £1,000 – £2,000

£250 increments for bids of £2,000 – £5,000

£500 increments for bids of £5,000 plus

Maximum bids

You are more likely to be the winning bidder if at the outset you place a maximum bid i.e. the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the work. Your maximum bid is not visible to other bidders. If another bidder exceeds your maximum bid you will receive an automatic notification. If you have placed a maximum bid the auction site will automatically place bids on your behalf, but only as much is necessary to make sure that you remain the highest bidder, until it reaches your maximum bid. These automatic bids are placed in increments, as shown above.
