Statement
John worked with junk - scraps of metal, plastic, etc that he impressed into plaster and/or ceramic. This work is about rehabilitating detritis, wanting to make something out of the most unpromising material. John's other work involved photography and printmaking, the latter with adapting photographs in Photoshop and underlaying with text.

Experience
Teaching history of modern art in various guises for Leeds University and WEA.

MA in Print Making 1996-8
MA in Photographic Studies 1988-90

Main media
Plaster/Ceramic; Photography

Key Influences
The Boyle Family for Plaster and Ceramic work
Lewis Baltz, Robert Adams in Photography

Artistic Ambition
John's ambition was, in the short-term, to enable people to appreciate the value of the discarded and ignored.
In the long-term, to link the discarded with a political sensibility; a marrying of that with the poetic.

 

John sadly passed away recently. We would like to thank John for his hard work and contribution to AVA.
