My Bio
The Kuriologist:- A self-taught 'outsider' folk art artist (through necessity) having spent over ten years being disability housebound.
ART of KURIOLOGY
-: Genre Topics :-
Steampunk : Horror : Mythology : Witchcraft : Folklore : Faux Taxidermy : Natural History : Anatomy : SciFi : Fantasy : Macabre : Day of the Dead : Carnival : Cryptozoology : Weird Stuff : Biology :
Kuriology art - part of the Outsider Art ‘Alternative Visions’ exhibition touring 2017/18, Kuriology sculpture artwork featuring digitally at Cheltenham gallery, Bristol Museum & Gallery, Poole Museum & Gallery, & Falmouth Art Gallery.
Also, a 2017 a solo sculpture exhibition as a disabled artist - 'From Behind Closed Doors' - at award winning Helston Museum in Cornwall. The Kuriologist Art exhibition dubbed by West Briton & Cornishman newspaper journalists as - ‘Museum of the Impossible’.
Previous individual artworks shown at former Portuguese embassy building, Arts Club, Penzance. Steckfester & Redwing Galleries Penzance. Lifeboat Station gallery Porthleven, also contributing artist to the Great Baulk Charity Auction, Porthleven.(Cornwall, UK)
Kuriologist - Creator artist of museum exhibited UK LGBT History Project Month – Cornwall sculpture exhibition 2016/17
An invited guest speaker at Falmouth University on ‘Kuriology, Art' - inspired by museums - My talk presented to Museum curators, art fund providers, Uni staff, & other culturally interested parties in Cornwall. - The event supported by the Cornwall Museum Partnership.
Kuriology Art is influenced by my interpretation of 'Cabinets of Curiosities'. Kuriology sculptures are mainly mixed media & of assemblage creation, primarily using recycled & re-purposed materials. Yea, I care & worry about environmental issues.
With a background as an antique restorer in my younger days - I am inspired by traditional museum Kunst Wunderkammer - ‘Cabinets of Curiosities’. Creating bizarre & weird creations. Often of steampunk & Goth genre, drawing upon themes of classical mythology, folklore, witchcraft, classical Greek & Roman sculpture, natural history & other such antique & vintage artifacts, specimens, & object d’art.

Sometimes you have to step back to get a view of the wider picture... (Just don't do it whilst on a cliff edge!).
