I do not confine myself to any particular medium of expression or art process. I have worked in most genre of art practice at some point from large land art to video to miniature painting. My work has always been a personal meditative practice using what ever methods necessary to achieve it’s purpose. Whether this results in an artefact or not is often irrelevant. I find the tensions between the creative act and the artefact fascinating which has drawn me at times to appreciate anti art movements such as Dada.
I often find that a process is initiated randomly and unconsciously, the meaning of which is not clear until I can achieve that meditative state which give me access to my unconscious intentions. I guess you could call me a Neo-Surrealist in that respect. I do acknowledge that I hark back to another era in art practice and the metaphysical and alchemical nature of what I do sometimes sits uncomfortably with the more pragmatic and directed art practice of today. Having said that I am interested in contemporary art developments and particularly conceptual and performance art which I practised early on in my career. From this you will find a strand of my work influenced by Arte Povera. All I know is that there is always more to be revealed in creative practice and I can think of no greater pleasure than exploring it’s infinite possibilities. As you can see I’m a bit of an old hippy as well.
