About The Artwork
The work was made for an exhibition about DNA at the National Botanic Garden of Wales. Their Science Department had invented a process of taking DNA samples from plant material and writing barcodes from these samples. I realised that there was a visual connection between barcodes and ancient texts and hieroglyhics and chose a column as a further reference to the Ancient World. The barcodes are selected from trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants and sand blasted on to mirror polished stainless steel plates and fixed to the column which is bolted to a concrete base. The base column is bead blasted for maximum corrosion protection.

United Kingdom
I moved from London to Wales in 1996 as I needed space to store large work after a show in Battersea Park and the Pumphouse Gallery. The work is in a wide range of materials with ann underlying connection to landscape. The word landscape is used here in the broadest sense and can be natural or man-made, the interior landscape of the mind or hidden buried layers underground. I am interested in the physical properties of materials and respect their ability to embody and suggest ideas. For sometime water was a major theme and I started to experiment with paper and glass. The work expressed a feeling of connection but now is starting to move in another direction while I explore the theme of Erosion. The work is divided between exhibiting, commissions and residencies in Britain and Europe plus some work withn schools.
