With over 60 illustrations and key excerpts from the sculptor s own notebooks this book provides the first opportunity to examine in detail the progress of Michael Kenny s career. Peter Davies traces his development from art school in Liverpool during the 1960s to the present. Kenny has said I use drawing as a means to symbolic understanding. It is the unifying thread in all the work that I do whether sculpture drawing or painting. In both the drawing and the sculpture there is an overt and covert geometry. It is the conceptual framework which holds things together. Stone wood charcoal are different manifestations of the same matter ? to draw with stone to carve with charcoal and paper . This account covers his work in all media and elucidates the fascinating relationship between the artist s drawing and sculpture.
