“The etchings were made in London during the swinging sixties, a period of intense optimism following long years of austerity after the war. This had a vibrant effect on music, art, fashion, film, etc, and I was indeed fortunate to be a beneficiary as I completed my studies at the Royal College Of Art and began my career as an artist. The Cold War and ambitiously developing space technology posed ever present threats and opportunities, providing rich and diverse influences on the production of art.”
