We did have one work where it looked like the fibreglass was discolouring, but it turned out it was reacting to the foam it was packed against in storage. We repaired it and sent it back with better packing.

I finished VCA at the height of the last big recession in the early 90s, and seeing that I was not going to be able to join one of the dwindling number of commercial galleries, I started an ARI called the Basement Project which ran for three years. Things came a little at a time and all of a sudden it's 20 years later and I'm still making art, which is really all I ever wanted to do.

I have a database of all my works that I maintain to keep track of works and editions.

The way we look at nineteenth-century English social realism and appreciate the working classes of the emerging industrial revolution.

I certainly don't see the humour in my work as something that detracts from its seriousness. It's just a way of making difficult messages more palatable.

Ideas rather than methods are central to they way I work, although drawing plays a central generative role in everything I do.
