Biography:
Born 1960 in Bethnal Green, London, England. Borstal in the 70s. Bird in the 80s. Dole in the 90s. Comin atcha with an ASBO in the new millenium! COMMUNITY PAYBACK TIME!

Statement:
You crazy mixed-up kids, you're dribbling with greed! You haven't even left college yet, and you're already networking like a monkey on heat. You've confused getting on in the art world with getting on with your art. Someone needs to remind you that your cherished 'art world' as presently constituted is a FUCKING SHITHOLE, and that Michael Bloomberg achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. Mark my words, the coming recession will be an unalloyed blessing. WEST END FINAL: FIFTY PER CENT OF LONDON GALLERIES TO CLOSE! Why mourn the loss of your friendly neighbourhood estate agent? Same difference. Cometh the hour and the wheat and the chaff will be thoroughly sifted. Then we can really get down to the 'business' of art. In the meantime leave the capitol! Exit this Roman shell! William Blake died poor, but he died SINGING. Get hold of the hymn sheet, dearly beloved.
