Colin Langridge is an artist, curator and teacher.


Things that initiate a state of wonder and hyper-awareness are fundamental to my practice where the artworks are often suspended in an indeterminate position between the unfamiliar and the familiar.

To stimulate this sense of wonder, I have explored outmoded construction techniques (coopering and clinker boat building) to realise a synthesis of the manufactured and the organic. Through experimentation, the strong influence of these methods has seen the emergence of rounded forms that extend beyond the traditional and functional constraints of barrels and boats.
