About The Artwork
This is a recreation of part of a 1734 map of field names in Stoke Newington and Woodberry Down. North is to the left, East at the top – so the left hand side of the canvas is Woodberry Down, the right hand side Stoke Newington. The blue line is the New River curving through the countryside. The red line across the middle is Lordship Lane. I got the map from a quite brilliant educational website called Local Local History (http://www.locallocalhistory.co.uk). It’s all about Stoke Newington History. I’ve admired it for many years and have probably nicked loads of my pub-bore conversational nuggets from its pages. Well done to whoever put it together. Jack Whitehead? (The little yellow-orange triangle in the top left is Lark Field. Other fields include Lower Long Wood, Crooked Lane Field, Straight Lane Field, Old Cut Meadow, Primrose Meadow, Cowslip Meadow, West Tile Pits and Milk Field)

I am what is generally known as a new wave pop folk artist. Usually I work by sitting at a desk with my head in my hands staring at the wall for several weeks, before jumping up and doing a painting in a few minutes. After which I kiss it lovingly - though only when it's dry. My technique is based around putting down various colour layers - with hands, brushes, knives, bits of rag or old gloves - adding new colour quickly and then scratching away wet paint to show the layer below. This is in part an attempt to reveal the perceived mask/veneer of subjects, be they lanscapes, people or memories. It also works on a more sensual level, allowing me to attack my own paintings and crack them open a little bit. Although I'm now older than John Lennon was when he died, and Dino Zoff was when he collected a World Cup winner's medal, I like to think of myself as an emerging artist. I'm just emerging in slow motion.
