I finally decided to get my finger out and show some work. I have been making art all of my life but not shown it very much. 

In the early 70's I was a trawler deckhand fishing in the North Sea but decided that was too scary. I then worked as an ice delivery boy on the fish docks, cavity wall insulator, frozen pea boxer, steel erector (world record of 1 day) and then I went to art school for 4 years and then moved to London working as a book/magazine designer.

 

I have always had a studio to make sculptures and photographic works and I am always very happy to be making. I nearly always collaborate on photographic works with Neils Obee.
