Tento autor sa vymanil z umeleckého sveta, aby sa zaoberal témami triednej nerovnosti a kultúrnej deprivácie, ktoré ovplyvnili jeho raný život. Po kariére v múzeách a galériách, kde skúmal, ako umenie a ľudia interagujú, sa jeho práca stala praktickou filozofiou zameranou na zlepšenie umeleckých ponúk pre verejnosť. Jeho neskorší výskum a iniciatívy podčiarkli hlboké presvedčenie o hodnote umenia a kreativity v každodennom živote. Dnes sa venuje písaniu, pričom skúma a sprostredkúva tieto kľúčové myšlienky prostredníctvom svojho diela.
