My artist books are an amalgam of influences exerted by working in the East and the West as a doctor, scientist and artist and are often semi-autobiographical. The work oscillates between the vertical and the horizontal planes, combining traditional and digital forms of printmaking & mixed media assemblage, liberating wall hung glazed artwork to be handled and touched. Variations on the theme are used to generate 'unique multiples', whilst blurring boundaries between the artist/artisan, orient/occident and the past and present. Process is as important as the ‘finished’ article often instructing the viewer/reader to intervene allowing reversal of editorial control. |
