Greg Humphries
I try to connect people to their environment with my art. I started out as a landscape painter, but it was only through undertaking a masters degree in 2009 that I realised the best way to connect people to their environment was to take them into that environment and get them to make the art!
The images I make are concerned with tapping into the unconscious, which acts as a bridge between Self and Other. Whether the Other is a place, a person or whatever, I use techniques of surrealism and abstraction to create art which communicates my connection with them.
My sculptures are the result of many traditional processes and knowledge absorbed from travels in the Amazon & the Arctic, as well as Europe and the British Isles. I gather the raw materials myself and use these traditional skills over many days to create the finished piece.
