Synopsis
Soon after arriving at art school in 1963 I became interested in the relationship between words and objects and I took on political topics e.g. Ku Klux Klan (1964). But I found politics a too competitive vehicle to explore words and objects and in 1967 discovered Wittgenstein. In 1968 while at Goldsmiths' I invented Pun-sculptures and in 1970 my Slade graduation show consisted entirely of them e.g. The Wittgenstein Lectern (1969). Later that year I showed Pun-sculptures at the ICA and the Young Contemporaries.
