The central concern in my work is the process of experimentation. 

I am not aligned to any particular medium, and I work in what ever material is to hand or which seems the most appropriate.

Early interventions in houses in the East End of London were made illegally breaking into buildings and just making the work. 

I have often been asked to make work in dangerous sites, where it is impossible to bring an audience. 

I guess I see the fact of showing work as a chance to communicate and show the things that intrigue me and show the things I am curious about. 

I see exhibitions as a set of propositions, rather than as an end game.

My practice involves a lot of improvisation, changes of mind, redirection, my working process is open and fluid and it as always seemed quite at odds with my practice, that I walked out of the space just as the audience walked in.

I envisage each show as part of a series of exhibitions in different locations and at different times. There would be a theme or subject to each show. 

The show develops in the same way my work does normally, but instead of the show opening at the point of closure, the show opens on the first day and continues until the end. Visitors are invited to come in at anytime and to see the progression, there will always be something to see, and a dialogue always open.

The show is a collaboration with the host, the audience and the artist.
