Born in Wales and raised in Cornwall, David has always existed between, and as part of, both cultures. Borderlands are a necessary territory for his art: those between land, sea and sky; representation and abstraction; the industrial and the spiritual; memory and belonging.
Living in Cornwall, David’s work is a response to the elemental nature of the place, seen both reflectively and intuitively, often where form and colour.
So the work becomes a re-ordering to himself of the Celtic experience, a tuning-in to the powerful energies that exist just beneath the surface.
