The images on this website are collages, constructed by hand, from carefully selected fragments of paper stuck down with glue. My work has become more intricate as time passes, each picture is comprised of hundreds of tiny snippets cut from old magazines and discarded books.
Frequently I go out on location, make drawings and take photographs of my chosen subject. Later, I make a final line drawing of my composition and then build up a coloured version using collage.

In order to show more clearly how my collages are constructed, I have made a time lapse animation of the evolution of a piece of work. I made this film by fixing a camera above my desk and taking a photo every 10 minutes or so.
