Artist Statement

David’s studio practice is based upon his genealogy as he explores the perceived values of his Yorkshire hand loom weaver and coal miner ancestry. His ancestors survived harsh living conditions through thrift, hard work and strength of family. David uses geometry as a metaphor and this is the basis of his investigations deconstructing found graffiti and the reprocessing of his own work into vibrant compositions.
