Palletto Sculpture (Circa 1999-2000)

At the turn of the Century I had a penchant for collecting discarded wooden pallets from the street, carrying them home to make scultpures.  I would them invite people around for drinks and food before conducting ceremonial cathartic burnings. Great way to end a night.

Unfinished Profile on Wall ( Paint, Pastel, Chalk) 1999

This was one of my first significant art expressions of creativity which was unfinished due to the fact that the landlord of the house whose conservatory wall I made this upon evicted me.  He was happy enough at first to let me express my creativity in the back yard and in the conservatory, but like a lot of people leading conventional lives, creativity and difference often unsettles their world of conformity and machine like automata. 


Embryonica: Chalk Drawing on Blackboard 60 X 45 cm ( 2006)

Chalk drawing re-photographed and hung on the wall of a gallery instead of the orginal, which gave it a strange light and curved quality, as though a large piece of paper was peeling off the wall.

Explore Your Unconscious


This is a snapshot of a slowly changing reflective image created by the brightness of the Sun as its rays gradually light up the an area of rocky Coastline.  The question is what do you see?  This is simply creativity often found in nature, and here expressed elegantly where the Sun meets Earth on a Cornish coastal mountainside.

Fish Heads


I went fishing off the Coast of Cornwall, and a thought reminded me of how Picasso once made art from the bones of a fish he had just eaten in a restaurant. (I have the pictures of his process in a book).  This is my feeble attempt.  I think it's quite surreal because if you look at it closely your perception may see two seperate fish heads looking away from each other, but you may also percieve it as two eyes of a single alien face looking directly at you.
