IDEA EXPERIMENTS
 

At the end of 1976 I was dissatisfied with painting as the best means of recording my ideas.  I initiated a lengthy period of producing notes and instructions for art works; including installations, environments, sculptures and multi-media paintings (some of which I actually created).  I also begun a series of theatrical works.  This output continued until 1983, although I returned to large scale drawings almost immediately and to painting in the early Eighties.

I produced a second period, of mainly written ideas, during the first phase of the Ionist Art Group - roughly between 1987 and 1991.  A lot of these were published in the Ion Exchange and covered similar ground to the later "Brit Art".

I am currently exploring various means of presenting this vast body of work which I have entitled The Alchemist Papers (after my interdisciplinary interests at the time).

Work in progress!
