my art has been an amateur and broad based approach — not settling on any particular model of production

a combination of Duchamp’s intellecutualization and the aesthetics of Greenbergian formalism — diluted by an essentially post-modern philosophy

a constant interaction with objects — a minimal intervention — often only a method of display
(how much of art is the display)

the use of found backings for the objects etc

the difficulty of deciding when to intervene — (the term intervention which has been coming up lately – I like it for what I do)

one thing my art is not about is craft or craftsmanship — my amateur background and lack of art education — I never did well with studio art courses – my general philosophy is anti technique – I never had an interest in learning how to paint or how to carve etc


note interaction with the computer throughout my art
note the relationship of the black and white drawings with minimal music


(?whether to add something about my education)

the question of whether or not to sell the wood carvings
