sound artist and composer

Good educational practice shares many features with artistic practice. Both should lead to a kind of revelatory experience which changes the way the world is experienced. I have always attempted to work in a way which encourages creativity and an openness to new experience. Besides running creative projects in the UK, I have also had the good fortune to lead projects in Gambia, Tanzania, Thailand and the Palestinian controlled areas in the West Bank and Gaza

Whilst working on an education project for Deptford-X recently, I made a series of interviews of people in Deptford on market days. Here is one of my favourites. It is Mr Campbell relating his experiences of being a black man in 1950’s Britain
