Although born within a hop of Fullers' Brewery in Chiswick, life never became any clearer to me since, but I do consider myself a son of Wessex, having(almost)grown up on a farm in Hampshire, within a field of the Aldermaston AWRE estate called (appropriately) Oakridge, and in earshot of B52s at Greenham Common: very much a child of the Cold War, and probably my fascination with Americana arose from there. Sadly the earlier experiments into Land Art have scant evidence remaining in the way of documentation, since the nature of it is rather ephemeral in any case - its coming before I plunged into art education, meant that my naivite with this regard has now been overtaken by an appreciation of my responsibilty towards my own creative practise and doing it as a professional. It's my policy not to conceal my age which can surprise people, virtue of an acknowledged youthful look [sometimes maybe, but probably with hangover (now rare) or after a headshave - annual]. Now a Manchester-based visual, creative and expressive artist.
