It has been suggested his work is influenced by architectural practice and early 20th century design, including Russian Constructivism. More recent works have included oil paintings and drawings. He set up The Trade Apartment with architect Raymond Brinkman in 1998, and held his first solo show, 'You're a Heavenly Thing' in 2000. which is now in the permanent collection of Leeds Art Gallery.
