About the artist
The 1960s' pop artists blew away the rulebook. I’m not comfortable with categories like fine art or graphic art. In the spectrum of 2D imagery, I am between photography and graphics. Pixel technology suits me. Technology and art spark off ideas in the other. Artists have always exploited new technologies, materials and tools (Vermeer the camera obscura; Degas high speed photography; Paolozzi screen-printing; Donaldson acrylic paint; Hockney Polaroids; Hamilton the laser printer). While my pictures have a photographic provenance, I allow the photography, computer and painting overtly to affect the results. I leave some photos as shot but, just as I used to discover previously unnoticed elements of a picture under the darkroom enlarger and in the chemicals' dish, now I explore what is revealed on the computer screen. Collages of negatives and drawings are appearing. Sixties art remains a seminal influence. I'm not the first to make analogies and to discover the commonalities between the branches of arts and crafts. Raking over my past and my collections, I am confronting my personality and sexuality, distilling what I find. I am exploring and expressing my emotions. Is this it?
