BIOGRAPHY, EDWARD VINCE

A London-based Sculptor, Artist and Creative Director with almost 20 years of experience in the art, design, advertising and technology worlds, including five years in Silicon Valley.

Responding to his extensive background as an advertising creative director, his sculptural works reflect on society’s uneasy relationship with consumption and waste. Through thoughtful transformation of materials, Ed gives new meaning to what has been discarded - offering a possibility that, like these reimagined objects, we too might find more thoughtful, sustainable ways of living beyond the systems that currently define us.

Ed has lectured at institutions and design conferences around the world and exhibited his work at global design shows in London, Milan and Tokyo.
