Some stuff made from things,

some stuff sometimes looks like something else?

my website blog www.davidkemp.uk.com. has updates and information about many of my projects

I m an artist who has lived in the far west of cornwall for over forty years.

Over the years I have earned a living building large public site specitic sculptures in many places, urban and rural, from big cities to wild and open countryside.

I work in a variety of materials

but the financial realities of living in an isolated rural area, has meant that above all, it has been necessary to be adaptable, in my choices of available materials and working methods.

To this end, I have made much of my smaller work (and some of the large public pieces) from found materials , scrap metal industrial detritus etc.

Much of this work is playfully intended to be the relics of a the consumer cults from the late second millennium. I style myself as a spurious archeologist from a distant future, reconstructing the relcs and god-dollies of an extinct society,

What we throw away sometimes says more about us than the things we seem to value?
