You will also need to share your website or instagram account if it focusses on your artwork.*You may only book onto one session in the Support Network series*Hew Locke was born in Edinburgh in 1959, lived in Guyana for his formative years, returning to the UK in 1980, eventually attending the RCA. His fusing of historic sources with current political or cultural concerns, and the merging of influences from The Caribbean and London, lead to richly textured, vibrant pieces that stand on a crossroad of histories, cultures and media. His public artworks include the memorial marking 800 years of Magna Carta, situated at Runnymede. His recent solo exhibition at Ikon Gallery in Birmingham ‘Here’s the Thing’ received rave reviews, and tours on to the USA.----Support Network is part of Deptford X Online.
