Where ideas come from
is something that can be of interest to gallery visitors.
With that in mind, this website comprises fifty four pages of
​images, text, audio & video 
that document my work​ and the ideas behind it from 1970.
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 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 my great-grandfather, foreman John Maycock (circled), is seen wearing a bow tie and standing near the back of the workshop. This publication was particularly helpful as, at the time, my work focused on my ancestors' occupations and the materials that they used.

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. 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
