about

 

The ‘company name’ 398 Productions Unlimited’ provides a convenient umbrella under which to bring together and unify the various strands of my work. I work across a range of disciplines and approaches including painting, print, drawing, photography, installation and text pieces. 

 

         There is in reality no company as such, just me working on my own. ‘398’ is my house number and has no significance beyond the fact that it is where the work is made, a semi-detached' rather than cottage industry. I felt that, apart from the parodic business reference, 398 had a nice ring to it as well as an art reference. I had in my mind Steichen's 291 Gallery and Picabia's 391 magazine.  I enjoyed also devising a logo for a non existent company.
