Hugh Mooney

Born in England 61
Studied Fine art, Art history and Anthropology then I found myself in Korea

I now favour peformance work, spoken word and improvised pieces. I do still use a lot of photography, collage and assemblage work( both old fashioned scissor tape and computer methods)
Inspiration? How would I know? What do you think I am? An artist?
