Description
These are scalpel-and-glue photomontages. The older ones were made between 1983 and 93, were always based on my own documentary photographs made in northern Ireland, and were somehow related to and to an extent engaged in, the northern conflict.
I was born and grew up in Newry, a small but sometimes busy town just on the northern side of the Irish Border. Situated just at the head of the picturesque lough in the 'Gt. Pyramids' picture, it has experienced more than enough of the 'troubles'.
In 1982 I went to study and live in London, irregularly travelling backwards and forwards and taking the photographs for the works. I studied at the London College of Printing, a 'media' school, and then at the Slade School of Fine Art.
