What inspires you in your art?
Birds, maps, medieval breviaries, books, circuses, myths, fairy tales, children’s drawings, old photographs
What medium do you work in?
Biro, pen, pencil, felt-tip, fineliner, crayon, oil pastel, watercolour
What are you looking forward to at Make it Up North?
Meeting the other
artists
What work are you showing at the event?
Framed drawings,
limited edition screen and giclee prints, and a selection of cards
Have you any exciting news to share?
I’m starting up an
interiors company. I’m making products for children’s bedrooms, and the first
set went to print yesterday. I’m really looking forward to seeing them
finished.
If you could sit in a room with any artist….who would
it be and what would you ask them?
If I could go back
in time, I’d go to the caves at Lascaux, when they were being painted. I
wouldn’t ask anything; I’d be pretty happy just watching the artists at work.
Name your favourite quote/or philosophy to life?
We have art in
order not to die of the truth (Friedrich Nietzsche)
If money was no object what piece of work would you
create?
A huge drawing on
the side of a building. I’d need a massive scaffold, and someone to film the
drawing in progress so we could animate it later, and a weatherproof boiler
suit, and someone to operate a pulley system to send cups of coffee up. That
would be great.
