About Duncan Hopkins

For me, making art has always been about a certain unique freedom, a way to try to understand and document life and experience, a brief breaking wave that comes and goes. I live and work in North Devon, UK. I was born in 1968, and grew up in rural Hampshire. My other interests include growing veg, herbs, flowers and fruit; visual astronomy; rural folk magic; buddhism; and electronic music. Recently I have been learning to ride horses.
