Publisher's Synopsis
The Artists' Laboratory series presents the more experimental and less familiar work of contemporary artists, opening up the creative process to explore the conceptual and practical concerns with which they engage. Nigel Hall is one of the foremost sculptors of his generation, known for his abstract works in blond wood, iron and steel, but drawing is a crucial part of his practice. The third in the Artists' Laboratory series, this book demonstrates Hall's preoccupation with drawing from life, in particular the geometric forms that occur in the natural world. In conversation with Bryan Kneale, a fellow sculptor, Hall discusses the subtle relationship between these studies and his sculptures, greatly enhancing our understanding of his art and his unusual place in the landscape tradition.
