Overview

We are pleased to present an exhibition of metal objects by British artist Telfer Stokes (B.1940). Better known for his art books, Stokes began making his metal works around 10 years ago after a chance visit to a scrapyard exposed him to the sight of thousands of discarded, half-formed, cast metal objects. Once useful as industrial or marine machinery, the metallic jetsam of the scrapyard represented an abundance of potential for Stokes; ready forms, colours and textures to peruse, rethink and transform.
