June 2017. I’m working on representations of girl/woman and bull. I painted the scarlet coloured beast, Fearless Child and Europa in quick succession. The image is archetypal, multilayered and ambiguous. Archetypes are of fundamental importance to politics. Such imagery can express ideas and trigger subconscious fears and desires – especially effective across language barriers. The Europa myth symbolises the hopes and fears of European Union. Does the young woman represent European nations first seduced, then carried away, and finally raped by a god in disguise (the ancient Greek Europa myth)? Is the beast a dreadful, fascist superstate? Or is this a love affair, with passionate hearts and self interest subsumed, as the lovers elope into a bright new dawn? Making the painting also brought to mind the English myth of the White Hart, a mythic, magical beast which can never be caught, try as you might. And, needless to say, the elusive ideal of European unity.

I use creativity to explore my identity, to interpret and meditate on mind, body, nature, the world. I paint and draw and write and sometimes combine all three in digital mediums. Some of my recent work reflects the social and political reality. I've been drawing from life in pastels, pencils and charcoal since my teens. I've been painting since 2007, and have been involved in artists groups in Manchester, Zimbabwe and Brighton. I'm a Dad and I live in Brighton. My parents were both artists.
