What a chaotic desk!
In my work with found objects, I surround myself with my collection of them and wait for the perfect, complementary object or fragment and begin to build my assemblage when I find it.   The assemblages almost 'grow' and realise themselves.      Have a look at my Assemblage and Sculpture Gallery.

We are lucky to have such a great and inspiring view from the window.

Staithes is a beautiful yet down to earth seaside village in North Yorkshire.  It has a reputation for being a haunt of artists because of the amazing light and it's wildness. It was home to the Staithes Group,
sometimes known as the Northern Impressionists, which included Harold and Dame Laura Knight.  These artists were inspired by the French 'plein air' movement as were those in other artists colonies such as Newlyn and St Ives.  The artists had been visiting Staithes and finally began to settle there in the 1890's.

Today there are a number of artists working in and around Staithes.  Some of their work can be seen in the lovely local gallery. http://www.staithesgallery.co.uk/
