It is not uncommon for art gallery visitors to be interested in
​where ideas come from.
This website comprises fifty four pages of images, text, audio & video 
that document my work​ and ideas from 1970.
The illustrated buttons below connect to images of the work.
Descriptive text buttons​ link to additional information about the work.
Magenta text links to data about people, places and processes
​that may be of interest.

But first, an answer to why I chose the image at the head of this page?

​London's Hackney Archives holds a copy of the Clarnico sweet factory Specialties List (1906) that includes a photograph of the  box-making department where my great-grandfather, foreman John Maycock (circled), is wearing a bow tie and stands near the back of the workshop. Finding this publication was particularly timely as my own work at the time focused upon the work and materials of my ancestors.

In the introduction to the Illustrated List I found this thoughtful sentence:

​"We think it probable that the conditions under which our sweets are made may be of interest to our friends and have embraced this opportunity to include some illustrations of our manufacturing departments". 

I liked Clarnico's contextualization of process and product, so opted to follow their lead in the organization of this website. With that in mind,

I think it possible that the conditions under which my work is made may be of interest so have included information about how and why each series of works developed, and where work has been exhibited.  

I update the website frequently and welcome
​your comments and  questions.

I will respond
