Statement:
I may be post-modern, if ‘post-modernist’ is the label applied to those who draw, somewhat irreverently, from an homogenised past, and are no longer 'shocked by the new'. I may, however, lack sufficient irreverence. I have been occupied with an 'impure co-mingling' of photography and ceramics; attempting to find meaning in their (obvious) differences and (less obvious) common goal - that of 'alchemically' making permanent transitory impressions, of light and touch respectively. The result, so far, has been several series of 'shallow sculptures' which I call photo/ceramic pictures - dislocated murals reminiscent of mosaics, tombstones and icons. More recently I have also been making two and three-dimensional collage, learning from an incorporated lack of premeditation. My chief influences might include relief sculpture, roadside shrines and 'kapelice', Schwitters, Rauschenberg, and the journey of art through the twentieth century.
Date & Place of Birth: 18.10.1955 Bromley, Kent.

Genealogy
Genealogy
About 20 years ago I, like many middle-aged people, felt an overwhelming urge to study my ancestry. Fortunately 'Aunty' Freda (Neale) had already done all the hard work in her lovely little book 'The Hatfulls of Deptford'. I spent quite a lot of time adding her work, plus some crude 'trees' of my own, and photos going back to my great grandfather Stephen (the half Italian bastard, literally) - to my original website at jonhatfull.co.uk. For some reason, this section of the site will not work if uploaded to Drive, even if you download it - so the link is just to Freda's book. That section of my old site amounts to nearly 100gb, so it is difficult even to email. I can also email the trees from Freda's first found George (1710).
