Picture
Xavier is a motivated artist / designer / maker. This London born artist is mostly self taught, regaining life skills through creating in a post head injury (Peckham 1985) confused fluxus limbo state. 

He has shown commitment to a number of subject areas in his creative rehabilitation. Glass, Recycling and reenergising objects, Cycling, Art, Creativity, Educational inspiration, the human brain, it’s process’s and learning systems, the NHS and it’s carers. He has completed a university degree in 2008, his ambition immediately prior to receiving his 1985 brain trauma. He survived that one too! 

​
Following his A Head in Art, a look at seminal works of Art that have contributed to artistic developments over the last 200 years, he is continuing his journey working on Cohedia, the mind expanding cityscape, an on going project of Xavier’s.

What is this creativity thing? a short meander through human creativity.

In the early 1980's Xavier was the bassist in Bazooka Joe, a Herne Hill / Dulwich based group with Justin Liquid Anderson (guitar, vocals and songwriting) and John Sim on drum.This session was recorded at Xavier home Guernsey Grove, Herne Hill in 1981.
