"I draw information used in my work from a variety of different sources both contemporary and historical.  The ideas may come from obscure and seemingly unconnected bits of information but become connected through the visual relationships I bring to them.  These new narrative combinations are what form the basis of the work that I produce. I usually make work in series. Each one is built up and added to over several years. As I grow older and I see the world differently, the new images I make evolve and adapt to suit my own personal changes.

Ron has a remarkable body of work spanning from 1997 to 2009 to view his extensive biography click on the link below
