BIOGRAPHY
My first studio 1. (1981) was near Warren Street station, a dingy, cold, affair below street level, cool in the summer and unbearably damp in winter, the premises were let to me by Sterns records shop.
Hey! You forgot to Blacken me in ... is a work from this period.
Studio 2. (1982) was at Space studios, Britannia works, in Bethnal Green, East London
a large well lit space, cool in the summer and unbearably cold in winter.
Spirit of the carnival, Timespan, and UK School report, learning to walk ... are works from this period.
Studio 3. (1998) was in Nimes in France, a very large well lit space, unbearably hot in the summer and
bearably in winter, the perfect environment for my sculpture in paper mash using iron filings to create the colour.
Porte´s d´Africue, Ving, The Kings mouth... are works from this period.
My present Studio 4. (2006) is in Walthamstow; East London is a modestly sized, well lit space,
hot in the summer and cold in winter. I am still working at this space.
Laughing legend with Stratocaster, Moqtar, Mr Frog has the last laugh... are works that have been conceived in this space.
One could conclude that the modifications to my forms of expression have been as a result my
environment and the time, however I beg the viewer to circumscribe such observations to avoid
the need for imperial evidence to back up erroneous theory and to accept the works for what they are.
