I helped Jim on various projects from around the end of 1985 until 1992 although most actively between 1986-1987, in the period between his figures being used in the Herbie Hancock video and his move to German speaking countries after Luna Luna in Hamburg during the Summer of 1987. During that earlier time, he had 3 studios including: various rooms in his home on Archway Road; a loft space above car mechanics on York Way in Kings Cross, while making the Avenue of Aspiration installation; and then Unit 23 off Upper Clapton Road, while making the Mechanical Theatre for Luna Luna in Hamburg.
