From a single word that holds meaning to a client, to the expression of complex ideologies, the challenge of producing bespoke works from kernels of ideas or grand visions can be a fascinating and rewarding partnership between client and artist.
Working hand in hand with customers, Bourdon Brindille has helped to allow their imaginations, fancies, reveries and the things they hold dear, to fly away and to become a real-dream, a solid tangible fantasy. Pieces, both two and three dimensional, have been made to order for clients ranging from embassies to Individuals both nationally and internationally. Why not allow Bourdon to enter your minds eye… |

The Body Is The Spirit Is
A commissioned piece telling the story of the cyclic nature of nature, this is another tale of reincarnation and rebirth, an ode to Everythingness and cycles. A chiseled, odd, Yin Yang, where the golden sap runs through the crisp bark shell and where the brittle bark skin runs through the syrupy resin and where the dry covering runs through the slick inner fluid and where the…ad infinitum. This is, I am, We are, forever connected and cyclical. There is no duality here, there just is…is. Diameter 26cm Height 19cm |

Oak Carving 29x 14cm |
This piece was one of a commission to produce three pieces in support of homelessness charities. With this I chose to focus on a, unfortunately, ubiquitous symbol of poverty and homelessness, the cardboard sign. I wished to produce something of value from what is a 'worthless' signifier (battered cardboard) and keep it as clean and as simple as I could, just choosing to carve from oak this symbol as faithfully as possible. I feel this is one of the best pieces of work I have ever had the pleasure to produce.

Bespoke Wallpapers
Working recently with the always incredible Volcano Theatre company (a theatre group producing Contemporary European Theatre, Made in Wales, www.volcanotheatre.co.uk) I was commissioned (among a plethera of other strange requests!) to create a contemporary wallpaper influenced by William Morris to include a nod to a certain drinks brand and vaginas... as you do. This sparked a great love in me of the challenge of producing repeat patterns, a skill, I soon realized, that holds no room for mistakes. I have gone on to produce a number of wallpapers for private clients... not including vaginas.

Working with Tabernacle for a number of years producing many of their posters, programs and website has been a great pleasure. Tabernacle Morriston Choir was formed in 1876 and is one of the longest established mixed choirs still performing in Wales. The choir rehearses and performs at the largest chapel in Wales, the famous Tabernacle Chapel in Morriston, often called the Cathedral of Welsh Non- Conformity. www.tabernaclechoir.org.uk

A simple instruction sheet adhering to the ecological credentials of the Lavender Project. Commissioned by Clare, owner of the Lavender Project, to produce a simple, clean and sustainable instruction sheet for her great terrarium kits was again a lovely job. Knowing that my designs would be printed as ethically and as sustainably as was possible really guided the look of this sheet. You can check out her Eco crafting shop here (Lavender Project) which helps fund her Eco educational project in The Brecon Beacons. |
Merchandise
If you would like to grow your business or advertise or just simply create some lovely products to sell, I have been creating design products for a number of years. I can share my, sometimes, hard earned knowledge in this area and help to create striking merchandise from Mugs to T-shirts to Tattoos to Bottle Openers....
