Portfolio

I was at Art School 1963-1969 at Portsmouth and at Hornsey Centre for Advanced Studies, Light/Sound Workshop, so I've been working professionally since about 1969. During this half-century, you accumulate lots of work - and you lose some examples too. On this page I've saved what records I have of work that I've done or participated in.
