About
Cross-discipline designer with main focus on furniture I have spent the last twenty years working in the creative sector, as a product designer, a graphic designer, and as a fine artist. During these years I have also had the opportunity to travel extensively and to live in a number of different countries, including England, Germany, South Africa and Spain. This experience of a variety of different social and visual cultures has added much to my understanding of art and design and, more specifically, the possibilities of style as a conveyor of meaning. As an artist I have exhibited artwork in over 30 exhibitions in 9 different countries. I have also written a book called Representation, The Objective Sigh and the End of Art, in which I look at how the phenomenon of representation has evolved in Western Europe over the coarse of the last several centuries and how, more recently, objects themselves have come to be understood as playing their own part in the great semiological web within which humanity operates.
