In the 1970’s and early 80’s on Teesside where I grew up, some areas of old traditional industry were being demolished and redeveloped. The way nature transformed the now exterior

interiors, was poignant and strangely beautiful. I’d always loved the raw elemental feel of the heavy industries I’d grown up with, and in the early 1980s it inspired some of my work, which became increasingly textural and abstracted, using collage, print, and found materials.
