Until a few years ago, I might have called myself an old-school modernist 

 

But I have since found other excitements 

​

Prompted by an intriguing challenge from Jane Fairhurst, the Wigan based artist (as part of the GMCA bOlder programme), in 'Play to the Gallery' at 'Obstructions' in Castlefield Gallery, Manchester, I re-invented my childhood imaginary friend, Bramble Richard as the author of the older works 

 

I imagined one of these, in Castlefield Gallery. There was a back-story; and a visit to the gallery .  .  . by a stranger 

​
