| David Abbott was born in Hertfordshire, England, but grew up in the suburbs of Northern Virginia, near Washington DC. He started printmaking during his undergraduate studies in Virginia and hasn't stopped. Currently living in Bristol (England) David is chief of operations at the small but ambitious Hackleys. His work references his eight years in America (and subsequent visits) as well as language, signs and symbols, and the side-salads of everyday life. David's influences include signage, road-detritus, modern American novels, country music and his friends. He describes his work as both amusing and serious. |
