Biography
I am happy to receive messages from people who may have liked the works, I would like to know which works you liked and why? It would help me to know what works and does not work..
I am happy to ship to anywhere in the world to anyone who loves the work enough to buy it. I am also very open to any opportunities to exhibit work anywhere in the world, so please don`t be shy.
I use none art and art materials to produce mixed media works, collages, photo montages and assemblages sometimes made of images and text taken from various media sources. Combining text and images from often, banal sources I make, simple, question-raising statements. that combine the incongruous and incompatible to question commonly accepted ideas. A major tactic is humour and flippancy which raises questions and suggests new possibilities. Images text and dialogue are used and misused to make accessible and unique statements. that aim to challenge all norms and the viewers acceptance of the status quo. Recent work is a return to a search for beauty and joy in using artistic mediums without political or social agendas
All my work is coloured by the reading of various philosophical texts from Plato to Baudrillard and Merleau-Ponty via Sartre, Kant,Marx and Bergson and a few others.
