When I was a school kid I used to read lots of comics. This started me on drawing, I would make my own comics about my teddy bear whose name happened to be Ted.

I'm not a trained dancer in the slightest.

I wouldn't consider myself an outsider artist because I have a university degree in painting.

The process of the body changing and making a whole human fascinates me.

I made a tin man costume with tin foil and furnace parts because I thought it would help me be more heartless.

Yoko Ono is someone who's music I've discovered more recently. The current cd rereleases of her albums all had bonus tracks recorded just with a tape recorder and I'm really into these at the moment because they have a great intimate feel.

I had always loved Joseph Cornell and wanted to do something with dioramas.
