ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This painting was created, ( I think sub-consciously) after I had met a friend of a friend who is slowly dying (but still enjoying life to some degree) with terminal liver disease due to many years of alcohol over indulgence/abuse. It shows a dead mans torso and head, (bowed), which is suspended in alcohol or formaldehyde. Homoeostasis which deals with the ability of the body to regulate temperature and blood pressure which is depicted by the veins and in this side of the painting the head is also the heart. The painting continues at the edge and is ready to hang. Although macabre this piece provokes thought and gets a lot of interest it is vibrant and thought provoking and would look good anywhere.

I was a member of a busy electronic band as a teenager. I left high school in Stafford, England in 1983 and after working with computers and as an assistant surveyor I moved to London in 1987 at the age of 19. I spent 9 yrs working in the construction industry as a site engineer, as-built surveyor and setting out engineer/site manager on various projects including canary wharf and liverpool street station and many other projects. I eventually moved to North Wales in a recession and set myself up with several stalls in the area selling anything from toys, watches, costume jewellery, collectables and many, many other things. In this period I took jobs/projects in Wales,London and Liverpool but the latest recession hitting hard since 2008 and some illness it has been hard for me to see what else I could get in to. This wasn't hard(as have always been interested in art since I can remember) I new I had time and a large kitchen which is now doubled as my studio and got stuck in to the books, paints, canvasses inter alia and started painting.
