Digital Exclusion
This illustration was used to illustrate an article on ‘digital exclusion’ for the manifesto of the Merseyside Pensioners Association (MPA). Older people for a variety of reasons are often excluded from the digital world many of us take for granted. The MPA campaigns to ensure that older people are not excluded from mainstream society.

Mystery Woman In The Mystery
This work combines two images. One of a woman walking along Brick Lane in London in 1983 and another of the Mystery Park in Liverpool.
The ghostly park with its colourful surreal lighting provides a strangely welcoming environment for the woman photographed in black and white from the past. People will know doubt ask me what my favourite work is in my current exhibition. I normally reply, “I don’t have a favourite”. However if I were forced to choose one it would be the mystery woman in the mystery. I love her, possibly because I’ve been looking at her image for many decades.

Under The Bridge On Brick Lane
This image was derived from a photograph I took of a woman as she walked under the railway bridge in Brick Lane. It was published in my book of the same name. To make this image I first printed the photograph on a piece of old paper from a bible printed in 1860. I then worked on the image using acrylic wash and chalk.
