I've used this blog to connect my work, to create an archive, let’s call it a retrospective. Over the years my work has been bought by strangers, sold by agents, unconnected to me. This has been an opportunity to show a journey and for people who purchased work to see where their intersection lay. You can find it on the page 'THE ARCHIVE' to the right. Now I can focus on the present. To see more of my work visit my website.

HIDDEN MESSAGES
This autumn Alfred Huckett and myself will be exhibiting together for the first time. Focussing on miscommunications, undisclosed secrets and a quiet monster, we have put together a powerful show of mixed media work including large scale canvases, installation, print and talisman, which though often dark are not without a sense of humour.
I have spent most of my working life as a printmaker, selling work to the corporate sector. Five years ago I decided to shift direction embracing mixed media processes to create work based on highly personal experiences related to hearing loss and cancer, unfortunately part of my life. I try to confront misfortunes head-on, using my art to challenge situations with a mixture of displeasure, indignation and a large dose of grim humour.
Alfred Huckett is primarily known as an artist concerned with the portrayal of music, having been artist in residence at the York Early Music Festival on three
occasions. He is now looking back to his early training in theatre design at Central St Martins with a collection of unshown work made in the 90s, together with recent large scale canvases confronting and exploring his feelings and experiences as a transvestite.
