Esmond Bingham

London and East Anglia
Three-dimensional artist - sculpture and installation

I work across a variety of media both 2D and 3D and on scales ranging from environmental to miniature. My work is characterised by a strong interest in construction and a delight in the unexpected in ordinary materials. Although essentially non-representational, my work is concerned with the physical, emotional and psychological language of everyday things.
