This Saturday brings with it a chance to Meet the Artist at Quay Arts Centre (QA).
From 3pm on Saturday 28th January, artist David Rodford will be leading an informal tour of the exhibition in the Jenny Clayden Gallery at QA, giving you a chance to ask questions, and to find out more about his work and processes.
David takes consumer packaging for his source material and, using a process of casting, has created three-dimensional Plaster of Paris forms, making the hand-made from the machine-made.
He says,
“I bring to my practice the experience of a working life spent in industrial design and manufacture which informs my relationship with materials and processes.
“In this body of work I am bringing this knowledge and synthesising it with my artistic drives. In particular the manipulation of materials, the placement of forms, compositions and the relationship between 2D and 3D.”
Find out more about the process by popping into Quay Arts for 3pm on Saturday to see the resulting compositions.
