Where ideas come from
is often of interest to gallery visitors.
With that in mind, this website comprises fifty four pages of
​images, text, audio & video 
that document my work​ from 1970 to today.
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, my reason for including the image at the top 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 foreman John Maycock my great grandfather (circled), is seen wearing a bow tie and standing near the back of the workshop. Finding this publication was particularly timely as, at the time, my own work made reference to my ancestors' occupations and the materials with which they worked.

In the introduction to the Illustrated List I found this 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 design of this website. So, 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 the finished products have been exhibited.  

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

I will respond
