Artist profile
I am a visual artist and a musician living in south Derbyshire. I have exhibited widely in the UK and also in Germany and in Paris.
Similarly as a percussionist I have performed in a range of bands all over the UK and also in France, Germany, Budapest, and Sarajevo.
I am fascinated by the possibilities of process.
I spend a lot of time thinking up new methodologies for process and trying them out.
This applies equally to the sound and music experimental work that I do too.
A fundamental in all this is the energy, the spark, that arises from accidents.
The spotting of accidents, the selection or rejection and the subsequent exploitation of them is key to the process.
This for me is part of a sequence involving a huge number of micro-decisions one makes to arrive at the final outcome.
Certain themes occur regularly in my work.
In no particular order, these are Music, Biology ( from my previous career as a Biologist ), Landscape, Objects.
I will always be thrilled by the alchemy of creative outcomes, the fact that something entirely unique and new emerges from nothing, that did not exist before.
When it’s rolling well, it feels like some very deep energy is emerging and the artist, myself, is a channel for its realisation.
It really is a piece of very special magic and a privilege that one is able to do it.
