  4. Hi Simon,
    I am doing art GCSE now in May and for my exam piece I am doing metamorphasis and I have chosen cigarettes burning into ash. For my artist I have chosen yourself and will have to write your biograohy. I have searched on google but not come up with any information, and I have your book, but that only gives me the year you were born.
    I would be very very grateful if you would send me some info.
    Thanks
    Brocha Smus

  7. Sian - this isn’t Simon’s site, it’s just a page about the things he makes, so he won’t see your comments!

  9. Dear Simon,
    I am a student on the foundation course at Loughborough University School of Art and Design and am currently working towards my final show presentation seminar. I have chosen to do my presentation on the art of paper cutting but am finding it very difficult to find information on work relating for this. Therefore any information on your work made out of paper would be very useful. Also if you have any pieces made using similar techniques, information on those would also be very helpful.
    Many thanks, Natalia

  10. When will people learn the difference between web pages about someone, and web pages by someone?

    Clue: this one is about Simon Periton.
