I hunt alone and I do not easily
fit any of the categories into which artists are currently placed.
While I regard the concept of each piece as important I am not
what is usually meant by the term 'a conceptual artist'. When
it suits my aims to do so, I use the traditions of image making,
iconography and traditional techniques but I am not a 'traditional
artist'. Similarly I am too visually informed to pass as 'naive'
while at the same time having avoided formal academic instruction.
I am engaged in considerations at a divergent angle to most
of my fellow professional artists' present dialectic. The cultural
division between town and country, between consumers and producers,
has become more marked than ever before. I am not in the camp
of the anti-art tabloid critic and the amateur art club reactionary
but at the same time I begin my perception from a differing
set of premises to the urban visual arts mainstream. My first
point of reference is in nature, and I look for a cultural relevance
that extends beyond the arrow slit vision of the moment.
