Artist statement

The London Games began as a project when the Olympics were awarded to London in 2005 and will be completed in 2012. Never mind two weeks of organised sport, I am looking for the unusual, impromptu and sometime sinister, games people play when they were roaming the streets of the capital. Of course I am happy to play along and it is in these random collisions between us that the best games are to be found.
