Ric Warren
About
Born: Barnsley, Yorkshire. 1986.
Lives & Works in Glasgow
My work is an exploration of the structures and materials that compose our manmade surroundings and I am interested in investigating aspects urban theory. I believe that urban structures have effects beyond their basic functions and I try to explore the symbolic meanings of these materials and forms. In addition to investigating conditions of contemporary urbanism, I am interested in the historical and hypothetical changes of our human habitat (physically, politically, culturally, socially and environmentally) as well as the everyday maintenance and progress of our built surroundings. Cities are constantly in the process of change; reorganising, demolishing and rebuilding. It is from these adjustments that I source much of my inspiration.
