ANDREW RADFORD

My practise is developing all the time. With no formal qualifications but a lifetimes observation of multiple disciplines, examining, noticing, analysing my responses to architecture, fine art, the natural world & all of its relationships & connections has guided me to develop my own artistic approach & practice encompassing, experimentation, making connections, incorporating my perceptions, both internal and external, using discarded material, packaging, card, paper, metal as well as natural objects, bark, stone & slate. I find inspiration in the simplest of found objects. I am also inspired & treasure the memories of visits to galleries & museums around the world, in particular smaller galleries such as The Pier Art Gallery on Orkney, The Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon, Kettles Yard in Cambridge, Louisiana north of Copenhagen & The Henry Moore Studios at Perry Green, all have left a lasting impression, I find inspiration in the art contained within the buildings and also the architecture. I am inspired by many, many artists.
