John Ham (Bristol, 1948). I originally trained at Middlesborough College of Art (1966-69) as a sculptor although turned to painting whilst at Durham University (1970-72). Resident in Lewes, East Sussex, I have been a teacher in special education for the past twenty years. During this time I continued to paint and to produce the occasional 3D object. I have gradually moved from abstract work to a more figurative base. I am particularly interested in the quality and finish as well as content of painting, and have explored many mediums.
The Kiss, which provided an opportunity to build an object of significant size of engineering quality, marked my return to sculpture. Advances in technology are providing exciting new prospects in both materials and construction, which I am attempting to explore. I feel that in many ways the problems I struggled to overcome in paint have found their solution in three dimensions.
