About my work:

"The World is changing. Fast. And not for the better. Truth, science and education are all under attack from the Far Right. Knowledge is being replaced by conspiracy theory, kindness by entitlement, ignorance is praised. Politicians now believe nothing, but are willing to say anything to retain power. The weak-minded accept whatever they are fed provided it contains enough hate of "THEM". This is the World I aim to document.

Going back a few years: My road into the art World was a bit unconventional: trained as a biochemist, I became disillusioned with designing health supplements for perfectly healthy people and spent a decade or so playing around with boat building, land aquisition and development and research into remediation of contaminated industrial sites. Money was good but job satisfaction wasn't.

Going back further: I was a weird kid. The loner that spends his time drawing vast and probably evil machines on the back of rolls of wallpaper. I had little interest in art as it was taught in school, preferring to soak up things which made a confusing and alien World make sense to me: sciences like physics and chemistry. I never stopped drawing though. But by now my work evolved into hyper realistic depictions of mitochondria, or the lamellae of chloroplasts in a plant cell. Today, my work has mainly lost the hyper-realism and has become loose and blurry.

I was lucky enough to grow up in the 1970s and 80s: Another time of great change. The last gasps of Britain's tragically deferential society were being torn apart by the likes of Monty Python, Spike Milligan, Private Eye and Kenny Everett. I also witnessed the last gasps of the worst of British culture: The normalisation of hate by the likes of the foul comedian, Bernard Manning and the frankly bizarre black and white minstrel show.

Today, the World is heading backwards.  It seems like history is repeating itself in some unsettling ways.1933 has a startling similarity to 2025...

Today, I create artwork from a cluster of old industrial buildings. Come and see something unique: It would be lovely to meet you.

OOH ! an "AK" surely every little boy and girl's favourite assault rifle. This one now resides in the leafy suburbia of one of London's posh bits. Makes you wonder what the hell goes on behind the doors of those £10M mansions !

Ever noticed how some people give you a funny look when you mention you own an acid bath ?

Weirdos...
