Graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1967. Worked as an art director for a major publishing house for four years before becoming a freelance artist. |
| 关于此艺术家 | |
A recurring theme that interests me concerns the metaphysical question of chance versus inevitability. Do we have any control over the events that shape our lives, can we influence the dice to roll our way, or do things follow a pre-determined path? |

Artist and Model
2007 |
)
|
| Bored with figurative art, New York denied Lucien Freud an exhibition at first. This image shows a wire artist upon which a label can be hung, and a flat, mdf model. The carved inscription on the tree reads 'NY loves LF'. Freud's profile appears left of the wire artist's face. |
|
Wind of Change
2007 |
)
|
| The Wind of Change blows leaves around the central image of the die. New events and encounters will unfold, according to which way the die rolls when it lands. Is it the wind of change or ourselves who influence the roll of the dice? |

Rebirth of Venus at the Speed of Light
2007 |
)
|
| Venus is reborn in this painting where time stands still and may even run backwards. Elements in the painting include the tick-tock croc from Peter Pan (on the boomerang), flamingo, chess board and tea party from Lewis Carroll stories. and an attenuated white rabbit in the bottom right hand corner.
The clock contains time capsule organic material and the numbers six and nine which appear on the face allude to the Jimmy Hendrix song "If Six was Nine'. |
|
Fame
2007 |
)
|
| The head on the pedestal is derived from Michaelangelo's David but also has nuances of Madonna, Princess Diana and Human League's Phil Oakey. Squares on the snakes and ladders game board on which the pedestal stands contain hand, foot and paw prints, redolent of Graumans Chinese theater in Hollywood.
Ants stream from a crack in the pedestal, implying that it is hollow |
