His films and installations have been screened and exhibited in many international film festivals and galleries across the world and also featured on Channel 4. He was a founding member of the Undercut Magazine Collective and a co-editor and designer from 1981-86.
The DVD 'Landscape Films 1977-82' was published by LUX in 2013. He collaborated with Jean Matthee on the films NEXT DOOR and DOUBLE DOORS in 1981 and with Roger Polley on projects, commissions and film installations exhibited in many national/ international galleries.

His recent work continues with his investigation, through the observation of landscape and natural phenomena, of issues concerning representation, duration and perception. Using a fixed frame and handheld camera the work explores concerns of time-space and light, focussing on visual transformation, change and transience. Working in 'real time', particular emphasis is given to the way in which, through time, changes in light, weather and season affect our perception of space and place in film. Consideration of reflexivity and the spectator's phenomenological experience of viewing and the contemplation of video and film of long continuous duration is an important aspect of his work.
