between the art of the first half of the 900's and the emergence
of the so called complexity sciences. His interest in duchampian
studies fits into this context.

amateur breather + train traveler, artist. He is presently living
on the fringes of England's Constable. He works for a living in
London as a railway stations manager (to avoid the art scene as
much as possible though not through distaste). He has aspirations
to do nothing but read and do things vaguely related to what might
be called art - (A proposal for a PhD on Duchamp at the University
of Essex is, like the trains, is being delayed).
