I have been interested in science as well as art from an early age.  When I began my artistic career I was dissatisfied with the normal approach to creating pictures (so much so that I did very little conventional visual art for over three years; working instead on diagrams, plans and written proposals for a variety of other art forms).  I have also always been interested in exploring and expanding my imaginative capabilities.

I eventually found a way of linking my interest in all the sciences with my artistic practice.  I introduced the concepts and procedures of science into the creative process by following a developmental and sequential format where images evolve within a mathematical or science derived framework.  My earliest work took the form of extremely complex drawings which developed an array of images across the picture plane.  Typically these works would be read from left to right; starting from an initiating theme or themes, and interacting with the structural template or with each other.  

I used an experimental technique for my earliest works using fine pencil and layers of acrylic varnish - unfortunately the latter had gone yellow, particularly where I applied it too thickly, so I rarely exhibit them these days.  However the left to right format still applies to most of my subsequent works - with the exception of my landscape derived paintings which combine sequential image streams with a more conventional composition.  I am also exploring many other formats including top to bottom and more rarely bottom to top or right to left formats.  Other formats include from middle out (I have done a series of concentric works which utilise this form quite recently) and spiralling clockwise/anti-clockwise - as well various types of banding and spontaneous image streams.

I am still exploring new formats and developmental techniques and I feel I have only just touched the surface of this approach to evolving images and associated ideas.
