Biography

Born in Leeds 1962, originally trained as a scientist, then trained in Fine Art 1989 – 96 at Leeds Metropolitan University (BA) and the Royal College of Art, London (MA). He has taught at Loughborough University, Chelsea School of Art & Design and Glasgow School of Art. He currently lives and makes work in Leeds and lectures in the Design Department at the University of Leeds.

As a semi-professional musician, he has always been concerned with the inter-relationship between the two art forms and public exhibitions have frequently incorporated live performances by professional musicians. This has now culminated in the new collaboration with composer, Michael Berkeley, COLLISION, which commenced at Gallery Oldham and the Leeds Fuse Festival.
