STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, collage is all about the journey and the joy of the creative act. I work intuitively to create random and abstract compositions using found materials and acrylic paints. In many ways, I am guided by the materials and mediums that I use – each piece emerges through the process and only takes on whatever meaning it has when it is finished. I like to create works that can withstand multiple viewings, revealing elements and details on a number of levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m a designer, photographer artist and speaker based in the UK. I’m also the creator and publisher of a one-man creative independent magazine called Else <\/em>(www.elsiemagazine.co.uk<\/a>) which was voted one of the top ten new magazines in the world by the prestigious publication, The New York Library Journal<\/em>. Collage is one of my passions. I’m also a street photographer (www.lesjonesstreetphotography.com<\/a>) and a creative director working with businesses on developing the brand and communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
