I studied photography at the University of Derby and gained an MA in Fine Art from the University of Northumbria.
Since the 1980s my photography has been exhibited nationally – Out of Frame, Hamiltons Gallery, London; Pigeon, Zone Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne (and touring); Fluid, Wolverhampton Art Gallery (and touring); and internationally – Real Fun, Elias Fine Art, Boston, MA, USA; and The Unapocalyptical: The Future That Never Was, Fisher Gallery, University of Southern California,
In 1998 I mounted a retrospective, Bad Form, at Stills Gallery in Edinburgh. The monograph, Off, was published at the same time with an essay by John Roberts and an interview with Val Williams.
My work is included in a number of publications including New Natural History, Renegotiations: Class, Modernity and Photography, and Fluid.
The work has been widely reviewed including in, Art Monthly, Creative Camera, Untitled, and Art Papers (Atlanta) and it is held in a number of public collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, The National Science and Media Museum, Bradford, The Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne and the University of Southern California at Los Angeles, CA, USA as well as many private collections.
In June 2015 I was Artist in Residence at the Imagine Butte Resource Center in Butte, MT, USA.
