This latest version of my site is intended to be a “sketchbook” of my creative output. Capturing 3d images, video , music , some of my photographs as well as random thoughts around those topics. (you can see more photographs here. Instagram) The goal is just a record of my current creative learnings as I inch towards a new phase in my life.

I’ve recently “come out”* as Non Binary - so don’t be surprised if you come across me wearing skirts , dresses and makeup. I’ve known I’m this since I was a teenager or younger but had neglected that side of myself most of my life - when I was younger I had no frame of reference except the prejudicial language of society, later my energy had to go elsewhere and finally in my 50’s I just want to be myself.

Some of that applies to my creative work too. When I was younger an arts based career “wasn’t a proper job”. I’ve spent a lot of time in my life trying to be a good capitalist worker. But you know what - fuck that. So now I’m trying to figure out how all this fits together - somewhere in the intersection of story telling , music, visuals etc is what I want to be making. And to return to the start of this section - that’s what this site is intended to document.

* Not that I’ve actually told anyone or discussed it with anyone beyond my partner and I’m still getting the hang of what works and doesn’t for someone of my age, size and shape but I’m considerably happier
