Will Spankie
Will studied sculpture at Sir John Cass and Central St Martins Art schools
in London. Since then he has been working as a self-employed stone carver
and letter cutter. He makes stone sculpture and lettering for public art
commissions, as well as working with garden designers and clients on a more
domestic scale for gardens and interiors. He also teaches stone carving in
schools, adult education colleges and prisons.
He works predominantly in local Jurassic limestones which can withstand an
English winter. His work is concerned with natural forms, patterns, symmetry
and the unfolding of numbers in space. He tries to capture the ambiguity and
ephemeral nature of life in the permanence of carved stone; he also enjoys
working collaboratively with people to help them realise their own projects
and ideas.
