David is an artist with a practise based in anti-carpentry and narratives, the unsatisfactory non-sequitur, the wounded animal.

His work combines meticulous research, wide reading and thought with encyclopaedic reference, ludic intention, manic humour and that, proposing vertiginous solutions to the questions posed by history, current affairs, films; those problems and their inevitable concomitant, the dropped ice cream, 

the unreliable reflection.

David is inspired by the renaissance sculptors and painters of Northern Europe and often wonders whether anything good happened after 1520. 

Martin Luther is trying to kill him with exploding robins.

David graduated from Bath Spa University in 2025 with a first in Creative Arts Practice. During the course he won the Porthleven Prize, 

a three week fully funded residency in Cornwall, with two exhibitions attached. He held a solo exhibition,  "I forgot much more than I ever knew" 

in October 2024. David's degree show piece, "Tolle Lege", a lime wood sculpture of St Augustine in bed with a lobster, was awarded the inaugural 

Library Commission prize, an award of £1000 to create an artwork to go on permanent display in the University library. 

David was born in Basingstoke in 1970 and worked for 25 years as a graphic designer. He is currently making new works for exhibition in 2026 and 

is a resident at the Emerge studio in Bath, an associate at both 44AD Gallery and Spike Island.
