About The Artwork
Someone gave me a pair of skis with bindings. Blizzard Sigmas. Wonderful ski. Covered in rust, cobwebs. Refurbished them and added an originality. Avoiding enslavement to Brands, National Colours, TV pap, identity, &c.. Not easy. A most difficult project. The greatest difficulty was finding the correct order of work. Thickness of paint affected torque of binding bolts! Eventually, and only eventually, I worked it out. Functions upon a steep, dangerous mountain. Edges tested on ice. Golden Eagles' habitat. I have met them too, eyeball to eyeball. Where I ski does not pretend to be Gstaad. I leave it to Gstaad to pretend to be Gstaad. Ships with bindings. Rated at 15 kilos total. No guarantee if used. Some chips, cosmetic damage. Needs readjustment if not U.K. size 9 boot, and possibly servicing if used rather than put on a wall.

United Kingdom
Lowborn, not a Virtue-Signaller, lacking Luxury Beliefs or their status, but neither an inverted snob, nor a snob. Definitely not intersected. Orphaned, outcast, male, straight, white, capitalist (a tiny fish in a very big pond), quite conservative in fiscal and social matters. In long term and friendly relationship. Prankster, yet pragmatic, singular, evolved, authentic, ironic, sardonic, sceptical. Comparatively deprived early life. Which has had permanent effect. Not least in being grateful, for what I've got. And for true opportunities both recognisable and takeable. These themes within some of these works. Never faked a sarcasm too. Personally loyal to those who have tried to, or have, helped. What else is a man of honour to do? Really enjoy painting, sometimes. In silence, without media lies etc., noticed sound of own breathing as I paint. Expressive, rather than regular! Still learning after all these years. Thank you for your interest.
