Philosophical inspirations totally drive his thinking and art. Wide ranging, including just for example: Carl Jung’s Collective Unconscious and Jung’s connecting friendship with James Joyce and Joyce’s connections with West Sussex, plus Religions such as history connecting Pope Benedict and Queen Elizabeth II. The Human Race, War and Peace.
