About Trevor Fearnley:
I work predominantly in wood and ply.
My sculptures aim to provoke a sense of humour and imagination, are intriguing and sometimes quite complex in their build and design.
I have a degree in fine art, sculpture. I have only in the past 3 years began creating my own works.
I am interested in the idea of chaos and symmetry to produce intriguing thought provoking forms.
My early work was based on the shape of a wooden clothes peg but manipulating this shape into common images and using puns or word play to add a sense of humour to each piece.
Recently I have combined this idea with a simple jigsaw shape that I use as building blocks to create familiar objects, mainly animals but with a twist.I call these building blocks “Jigpegs”, each one is an individual character, a piece of DNA or a kind of hieroglyphic symbol/image that creates the final shape.
It’s all a work in process a never ending development and general interest in shapes and how they can evoke images and emotions.
