Profile Information
- About Me:
- I was brought up in a working class, christian family. By the age of 12 I was busking in the West End of London. By the age of 20 I was homeless, I have moved around the English countryside and have been involved in the squatting, traveling and illegal rave scene. Throughout this time I have been involved with various theaters, community spaces, gatherings, art studios and projects. I now live and work in London with a group of artists who go by the name of Sage Community Arts Space. I also teach art to a bunch of eager students at Ealing Centre For Independant Living.
- About My Art:
- My work is deep and thoughtful. It bears the deep scars of a childhood in which I attempted to integrate my faith in God who I love with the hypocrisy of the abusive behavior shown to me by my Christian caregivers. Here lies an imaginary landscape, a bridge between two worlds, where I explore my own private mythological world. Death and the ability to change or not to change are recurrent themes.The mediums that I work in are mostly acrylic paint, pen and ink, collage, print, mixed media and interactive media

Anthology(THE FINAL VERSION)_0
"Ah though meek,
Such wondrous art,
What flower be thy design?
That no handheld pen can sign.
What tree hides thee,
In its shadow?
Be it Father, Mother?
Sister or Brother?
And even more than this,
Where be thy sharpened axe!"

"Could we possibly see the poetry in the video in still written form so we could read it?"
