about the Sculptor

I am Robert Kennedy, a sculptor who has worked from a studio at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff since 1985.

Over that time quite a wide range of subjects and materials have been approached within my sculptural practice. Most of the things I am commissioned to produce are made with many members of the public, or are for celebratory and commemorative events.

Stone is the material that I use most frequently for the work I produce. The most important aspect of what I do is the way in which I work with other people.
For many years I carved stone by hand, and still enjoy doing so, although I have now introduced a few new technical changes to enable as much creative access for all abilities and ages.

Every project I do has different references and readings, all related to the specific localities I am asked to work in. One of the common threads in most of the projects I work on is the merging of text and imagery on surfaces.
