He has taught at Glasgow School of Art (1980–1995) and the Art Institute of Chicago (1989), and he learned to fly in Aberdeen in 1972 so that he could visit his students in Shetland, Orkney, Hebrides, Moray, and Aberdeenshire.

He believes he is a spiritual successor to Cervantes’s character, Don Quixote, a man whose imagination helps him deal with the impossible and connect the mysterious extravagance of innocence to life-and-death situations.view less
