Corona times: works were made during the ongoing current corona crisis, all responding to current events.
Starting with the US election, the Democratic win, ‘the sun is still shining’ through months of restrictions and pandemic awareness, ’keep your distance’, ‘Virus alert’, ‘death counts mounting’ and ending with a page of London life, to be framed if selected.

ROME summer residency BSR September 2016

As a former Rome Scholar (1996) I was very fortunate to be granted the summer residency at the British School of Rome in September 2016. It proved a massively inspirational and highly productive month in a wonderful city. Living again in my favourite city, exposed to the architecture and artworks so fundamental to  our present culture generated a large amount of new works, paintings and works on paper.

PURPLE TULIP & FRIENDS 21 June - 7thJuly 2013 Blumenstrasse 35 Krefeld

Purple Tulip +friends

Starting point: one quick sketch of a tulip, oil on architectural tracing paper, which was found after forced eviction from by beloved studio in East London.More tulips began to grow, bigger, the purple become darker, almost black and no leaves, no support to hold them.However around them there were green lands, lands with hills that turned into mountains and there were people – you could see them in the distance if you looked carefully, some of them you knew, they were howling and asking for your help but somehow you couldn’t hear them properly, nor could you understand what exactly they were saying.But of course, like everything else in this world it was all about money:The collapse of a system you had trusted implicitly, an economy that had reared supported your system for years on end.
