I was born and educated in Great Britain, graduating from the Royal College of Art in 1966. I exhibited my sculpture in Europe, The United States and Japan before moving to The United States in 1968. I have taught at The Philadelphia College of Art, The University of Iowa, and The University of Kentucky, retiring from The University of Cincinnati in 2001.

I am interested in geometry, and industrially developed and produced materials, as the subjects of sculpture. This has motivated me to design my sculpture on the computer. I plan to fabricate more of these designs in the future, and taught on these methods before my retirement from The University of Cincinnati.

I would still like to work with interested artists and students installing sculpture exhibitions on the internet, where we can meet for online production and discussion, and would enjoy hearing from anyone with similar interests. I am still caretaking DAAP, the first ActiveWorlds® zone dedicated to virtual sculpture on line, and can offer anyone interested the opportunity to display work in this site.


The pages on The Modular Set, In Iowa, Rythms, and Accidents, record my work with a group of 80 Masonite boxes, all six inches square, varying in lenth from 6 inches to eight feet, begun in 1971 up to the present.

Cincinnnati Portfolio presents animations and images of artwork I planned, re-made and/or finished on the computer, modeled in Autodesk 3D Studio®, 3D Studio Max®, and Truespace®, rendered in JPG format, and animated with Darim® MPG demo animation plug-ins.

Piazza is an html page of images from my building site in Alphaworld, a prototype for the location of an internet sculpture exhibition.

DAAP. Is the home page of the first multi-user world of sculpture on line, begun in 1996, and still served by ActiveWorlds®.

DAAP '96 is the record of my first sculptures exhibited around Ground Zero in DAAP, installed in 1996.

Twister is the installation record of my site specific sculpture for the Atrium of the Alice and Harris Weston Gallery in Cincinnati.
