David Kemp is based in St Just, South West
I collect the "relics" of past civilisations which I exhibit as the re-assembled artefacts ,archeological & ethnographical remains of an extinct society. Commissioned work includes site specific,assemblage sculptures on post industrial sites around Britian.
I am also a painter, working in oils & watercolours a synthesis of the space & energy of the wild maritime environment around me.
