Trevor Winkfield

from $11.00

In the Scissors' Courtyard

Trevor Winkfield was hatched in Leeds, England in 1944, and attended Leeds College of Art and the Royal College of Art, London where he was self-taught as a painter. This collection (comprising prose poems, poetry, a play and an autobiography) brings together work penned between 1967 and 1975. 

"Trevor Winkfield kneads the crumbs, lint and other detritus of daily life into a kind of modeling clay, from which he then sculpts fantastic constructs that can be quite grand or unpleasant in a moving sort of way. The results frequently recall the statue of a helot made of whalebone corset stays rolling on rails made of calves lights described by Raymond Roussel, of whom Winkfield is perhaps the most illustrious epigone." - John Ashbery
