An attempted introduction.
In some ways this project started quite some time ago. I shall attempt to bring you up to speed now and apologise for not getting you involved earlier on in the process.
In 1982 I was born in St. Gallen, Switzerland, some 8 months later, I left. In the next 5 years I lived in 5 different countries behind 5 different doors but at the end of the day, I grew up in South Wales, near Newport, but I wasn't Welsh. Nor was I Swiss.
As an artist I started the practice of walking in 2002. And somewhere during a performance on a train to Peterborough I imagined the idea of Walking Home. To my place of birth. To St. Gallen, Switzerland. Through an MA in Arts & Ecology I spent my time exploring my peripatetic intrigue and building up the foundations of a project that will very shortly see me set off from my Hackney residence for St. Gallen, Switzerland.
This project has seen me communicate with curators in London and St. Gallen, and create a body of work that is as extensive as it is eclectic.
