This site is meant to give an overview of my work over the last 40 years.
Please contact me if you need more information about the work.
Having originally studied painting I have spent most of my time making 3D work - in the conventional sense of individual objects or groups of objects, as situations to be photographed, actual installations or, lately, virtual objects. These later works take the form of animated movies and prints. This digital work now concentrates on making non-narrative animated time-based images which are to be shown in a dedicated art spaces or festivals.
My work is shown in the UK, Europe and USA and is in numerous private collections
From November 10 - January 11 I will be taking part in:

“simmentalTide” takes as its starting point my recent move to the British countryside and seeing
with fresh eyes the spectacle of cattle grazing.
The resultant photographic images are combined with 3D animated forms to construct this work.

“luxflux”, as the title denotes, consists of a series of virtual animated environments lit by changing light sources. Some are lit by white light whilst others lights are coloured. The lights describe the environments as well as being perceived as forms themselves.

A short compressed selection from a 13′ 59″ movie completed in 2007.
This piece combines 3D animation with digital video footage and can be seen as a representation of part of a long journey where the traveler falls in and out of dreamlike states - where normal consciousness is replaced by fantasy.

A short compressed selection from a 8′ 35″ 3D digital animation made in 2007.
It is an example of my preoccupation with synthetic, formal elements which co-exist within a natural landscape. These forms contrast with their environment and create ambiguous scale and functional references. Are they signifiers of inhabitation past or present and is the landscape terrestrial?

The subject is my response to September 11 and is a reminder that not all tragedies have to be spectacular; often subtle happenings can and do change our lives in radical ways.
