Web Design   .....more

I first started delving into web page design about 3 years ago. I now consider myself proficient in HTML and I am acquiring a basic grasp of JavaScript. I am also well-versed in the creation and manipulation of graphics file formats associated with the internet (.gif, .jpg, .png).

Next on the list of technologies to master is the new hyper-document language XML. I'll be posting some showcase pages with all the latest bells and whistles soon - for the moment I'm concerned with keeping the site fast and readable across most common platforms which is actually a much bigger challenge!

My services are available for commercial web page design and coding. For more details of possibilities and prices go here

Sculpture
(Go to Images)      (Brief biography)

My sculpture is about space and the relationship between spaces.   It is also about structure and the way space is resolved by structure.

Some of my work explores the concept of synchronicity in structures.  i.e. where structural technique results in the whole being more than the sum of the parts.

My training in architecture has influenced me greatly.   In particularly my study of 'tensegrity' structures and the work of R. Buckminster Fuller.  Fuller's maxim, 'less is more' is one of the core concepts of my design philosophy.

Another theme that has preoccupied me is the subjective nature of quality and value.   My work with junk and rubbish is about how the creative process and human imagination can create beauty and value from nothing.   To create from nothing, for me, represents the highest artistic achievement.

(I also started the trend of wearing Nepalese hats back-to-front.) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~     email me
