Some things I did – Invented new artform – 'Slate inlaid marble'. To see the process click the red 'g' button above. Drew and made things while being read to; liked the black and white drawings in the books. Enjoyed the quality reproductions in the many art books around the house. Got married. Small grant, so worked as postman, cleaner, nightwatchmen. For myself, made and destroyed a lot of work, fulfilled some private commissions, and mounted some unimportant exhibitions here and there. Proposed a scheme to put giant relief sculptures on the cooling towers at Didcot Power Station. Only the German magazine 'Der Spiegel' took it seriously 'Kunst am Khülturm'. Became 0.5 College Lecturer and immediately left to go and build a studio at Cresselly in Wales. There, signed on the dole and produced artwork: painting, drawing, body-printing, body-casting; constructed 30-something life-cast standing figures in ciment fondu and set them in a small field; made some movies; took some snaps.
