An artist new to me - though it was rather distressing to discover
Greg Poole and his work through the
obituary column. There's a tribute from a friend
here, and artistic appreciation
here.
He wrote about how he came to his art
here:
"I was fortunate to be able to rent a house on Bardsey Island for 6 months in 1988 where I really did draw all day every day but ended up realising that I didn’t know how to take the drawings forward.
The block of work made on Bardsey got me a place on a foundation course at Manchester polytechnic and there I realised how thirsty I was for knowledge about materials and ways to go beyond just drawing what I saw. That year was by far the best academic experience of my life and there aren’t many days when I don’t refer back to some aspect of that course."
