Works
'Domestic Appliance', 1987

"For a long time, I was preoccupied with the quiet undramatic anguish of lives moulded by the suffering caused by aggression in a technological culture. This, the works of Beckett, Bond and many others was thrown into a melting pot that created this mesh between man and machine."

John has recently completed a sculpture for Ordos City Sculpture park called 'The Road Not Taken', 2011. For more details follow the link here.

A feature article on John's work is in the January 2010 edition of Sculpture Journal.
