Richard Deacon

English, born Wales

1949, Wales, United Kingdom

British artist Richard Deacon offers a tour of his studio and explains why he thinks of himself as a “fabricator,” a word that conveys his role as both a sculptor and a storyteller. He provides insight into his artistic process and delves into his ideas about materials, language, and form.
