I like to be creative in as many ways as possible. Whatever it is to get across my idea and explore what I am doing. I make sculptures. I do large installations in the landscape. I use photography, paint, screen printing, have a rock band, I make videos and film. This is the way want to continue. I pride my self in doing different things.
It’s what I enjoy doing. We should all do things we enjoy.
I have always wanted people to get my work. When I have something to say I want you to know what that is. I do not usually do stuff that nobody can understand. Sometimes it can be a little cryptic, I know not everybody gets all of it, but as long as they understand some of it then I am on the right track.
Art for me is a passion. Sometimes pure instinct, sometimes quite structured, but usually it’s a fairly organic process. It makes me feel good to express myself. And it’s great to be able to share that with others.
Thank you for the love.
History
I was a designer for many years until finally I realised this was not really what I was meant to do. So I left the world of art directing ads and magazines and logos and followed a dream that had been nagging me for too long. That is how I love to live my life now. Creating my own work for me in the hope that others may share in what I do. It’s not easy though. Because I still have to eat. Design has always played a pivotal part in what I do and I value this highly. But it’s great when the only client is me.
