The Artist has self published two books which accompany his practice as a self initiated “institution” for his work. His 2023 “duellers” series presented photographs of figures in landscapes holding liminal positions

establishing his own personhood as medium and subject matter. 
 
The artist is currently exploring different areas of self expression through use of stone carving, casting and woodworking.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork 

Better to serve In heaven than rule in hell.  
I didn’t get far reading paradise lost, I think at the point of making these works I’d read about a page of it. Somehow things like that seem to sit in my mind for years and I kind of come up with my own idea of what things are, and then the the blanket falls away somehow when you’re actually confronted with the real thing.  
I read a bit of the book though and. “Better to rule in hell than serve in Heaven” really struck me.  I’m sure there’s plenty more to come if I ever get round to finishing it.
