"Images of cargo ships harks back to when he was a small boy seeing a Greek freighter grounded on the rocks in Tankerton Bay, Kent. As for the models that he paints on the canvas, he first builds them himself – as if making up for lost time, his boyhood passion." – The Guardian, 2001.
"I'm very involved with the idea of the vividness of childhood, of being in touch with an incredible vividness of experience as a young boy. To become an adult, culture teaches you to bury and repress all that. But if you can find access to it as a mature adult, it's a tremendous source of material."
– Malcolm Morley
