''My Collages are a manifestation of the chaotic mayhem of modern life in a big City. The latest series of Collages was constructed when my immediate living environment changed from a wonderful old house with a large workshop to an apartment block existence. With hardly any space or storage, I had to downsize my work on smaller-sized cardboard, manila envelopes, and various second-hand children's and nature book covers. The Idea was that they could fit into a folder in a carry bag/satchel and be worked on wherever I was. The Collages were started and conceived while in transit, either in cafes, pubs, libraries, or even on public transport. The initial energy was my surroundings, and then the finishing touches fine fine-tuned at home.''
