Introduction
Trained as a painter at Chelsea, I now work with drawing, collage, constructions and photography. The work is informed by a personal wide ranging eclectic knowledge of art history which crosses all times, civilisations and both high and low cultures, alongside this is a great love of and familiarity with museums from national collections to small local and specific collections. The collages reference to figures in spaces, both intimate and distant, using my own photography, found images and painting, often with reference to an artifact, painting or story found in a museum. Amongst recent exhibitions my work has been shown with the Crafts Council and the Contemporary Art Society, photographs are held in the Ernst and Young collection and illustrations commissioned by Sotheby’s. A museum study concerning photography of body adornment, in particular the field photographs of Diana and Antoinette Powel Cotton taken in Angola 1937 was recently supported by Middlesex University.
