"walkingandwhistling #4" Artwork - Limited Edition of 12

I graduated from art school in London in 1981. My early practice explored the clustering and contrast of imagery, gradually evolving toward an engagement with process and chance. This work was informed by West Coast graphic design and the strategies of appropriation and image circulation associated with the Pictures Generation. During this period, I worked primarily in silkscreen printing and etching, using these processes to investigate repetition, disruption, and visual tension. Following a period of teaching printmaking, I shifted into fashion, focusing on textile design. This phase involved designing and producing printed textiles and garments, extending my interest in surface, pattern, and the translation of imagery into material form. I later moved into coaching, leadership, and organisational development, grounding my work in psychological theory and deepening my understanding of perception, behaviour, and transformation. My current practice spans photography, painting, drawing, and experimental film. I am particularly interested in the processes through which images are made, altered, and reinterpreted. Central to my work is the malleability of the image—how it can be fragmented, layered, stretched to the point of breaking and reconstituted—reflecting an ongoing investigation into perception, memory, and the fluid nature of meaning.
