Generally speaking I am both craftsman and conceptual artist.
It’s great to create things that resemble everyday objects and situations, reconfiguring them into something altogether more surreal and hybridised. The true value of underlying creative forms, chains of thought, sequences running along may be concealed by superficial appearances, and worlds may open from within worlds.
I have experience of leading classes in skills for life with young adults with learning difficulties. As well as an artist working professionally in mainstream school settings.
Welcome to Crazy Eddie’s twilight world of wonder; a popular culture creep show where figures fictional and real merge with events imagined and real. Fantastical, nightmarish, familiar and uncanny, the work of sculptor Ed ‘Wood’ Mortimer could never be referred to as boring. With a fascination for creepy dolls, soviet era architectural bus stops and the skeletal structures of lizards and apes, Crazy Eddie takes a theatrical approach to the production and presentation of his work.
In this post-pandemic winter of discontent BasementArtsProject present ‘Crazy Eddie’s Bargain Basement’: a collection of works that represent the artist’s trademark morbid humour and popular culture sensibilities. We invite you to join us in this subterranean theatre of mayhem, madness and the macabre for the first exhibition of 2023
