Trevor Winkfield
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
