Having worked in the realms of agency advertising and later, special effects modelmaking for film, television and radio, I have been very involved in the creation of contemporary image making in relation to the human being.

The packaging and presentation of imagery, to me, often says more about us than the image itself, which can very often be mediocre.

"Blister packed and hygienic from cradle to the grave."

I have always liked the idea of multiples or three dimensional prints.

I try to echo the processes of mass production and thereby support a non-exclusive availability of my art.

My work sequence starts with a concept which is then expressed in the most suitable medium. As a result, I neither adhere to, nor have any loyalty to a particular medium.

I derive a great deal of pleasure in the making of my sculpture/paintings, prints and assemblages and hope this is relayed to the viewer.
