Synopsis
In the early years of the decade I continued with Pun-sculptures but decided where I could, to show them outside the conventional art world e.g. Letters to the Sunday Times 1971. But my interest in politics was still around and I combined the two in An Indo-Chinese Pun-Sculpture (1973) which was shown at The Gallery, a gallery of invented conceptual artists, set up by fellow Slade graduate Nicholas Wegner that year. Nicholas asked me to join him as co-director. We ditched the invented artists and became the first and only gallery to have no artists at all. I left the gallery in 1975 and helped run a family company in Nottingham but in 1977 my father died and my work changed gear entirely. I started making huge photo-collages on political themes e.g. The Wailing Wall Jerusalem (1979) and In Flanders Fields (1980).
″I still use the same approach to my work: I get an idea, think of the title and then make the work. So not much has changed since 1964″
