Artist. We believe Glimpse @53 is about our man: "London born Geoff went to Goldsmiths College, and specialised mostly in night scenes. Working collaboratively, he later made assemblages using found materials. He became an artist activist, locally organising the International Shadow Project, campaigning for ethical sponsorship, against racism, and initiating a visual arts festival. Banners, installations, murals and public commissions followed."
