He has recently embarked on a series of pieces entitled Debris Fields. Prior to this his work has encompassed a number of areas related to the work of John Cage, Tom Phillips and AMM. He has performed at Tate Liverpool, ICA London and Mappin Art Gallery Sheffield. Phil Mouldycliff and Maurice Watson have collaborated on anu,mber of projects including three versions of Performance Opera Installation "Titanic Numbers".
