Details
I usually work in two-dimensional painting and print media. I often work with sequences, sometimes linked to poetry or text, sometimes linked to significant historical works. I work in the media I now use out of expediency, I have a small professional studio, study and library; the studio has a deliberately limited scale.
I have worked as a poet and artist for more than sixty years. My artistic practice provides a deliberately limited access to both a private and the public arena.
Painter, Painter, Art Historian
My practice includes teaching the history of art and live poetry performances sometimes online. I have contributed to work with the WEA, Ross Arts Appreciation, Hereford Arts Appreciation and the Hereford Art & Craft Society.
I set out as part of the English contingent of Fluxus and subsequently, in the 1970s, started painting. I have degrees from Goldsmiths College of Art, University of London, and the University of Essex. I was appointed as Head of Art at Roehampton University and then as Professor of Poetry & Art. I am now Emeritus Professor of Poetry and Art at Manchester Metropolitan University.
My most recent exhibitions were at tactile Bosch in Cardiff and at Kunsthall in Oslo.
Apple Store Gallery, Hereford, has provided some of my public support and attention. Most of my sales are through private and online attentions.
