David Bellingham a statement in words that could almost be his own
David Bellingham makes things to hang on the wall, things to sit on the floor and things to place on the table. Things that look like themselves rather than things that look like other things.

Printed works and editions appear through the imprint WAX366. Bellingham was born in South London and lives and works in Glasgow and Copenhagen.
