Artist's statement:
I've always liked to make large work, and these pieces are intended to be printed in moderate to big sizes. Most of my endeavours, in oils, acrylics, photographs and, in fact, virtually all the conventional media, have been sizeable. A fair portion of my artistic life, though, has been involved with electronic imagery: first as a television cameraman, director and producer, then as a video artist - pretty much all bound to smallish presentation. But now, thanks to the computer, modern ink jet printing, and without the need of expensive materials, I can work big again….
