CV

Alan Bond works and lives in Edinburgh. He builds large, architectural installations that invite audience participation and makes smaller architectural models and sculptures based on architectural fragments. Constructed from found materials, he chooses remnants, colours and textures that evoke history and association The mixed materials work with each other, contributing to the aesthetic of the work.

His works on paper fall between painting and drawing. They are based on architectural themes or objects seen in the landscape. In these observed spaces, he looks for unusual qualities or anomalies which allow for re-interpretation, re-ordered perspectives and the opportunity to comment and develop new ideas.

Outcomes may be ironic, funny, absurdist, or pay homage to the architects and constructors that have influenced him.
