Craig Wood was born in Edinburgh,1960

Following a Foundation Year in Carmarthen he studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, London,1986-89 returning to live in West Wales in 1995.

• Awarded Faber Castell Drawing Scholarship in Nurnberg,1993.

• PACA/University of Warwick Residency in Venice,1994

• DAAD Residency in Berlin,1996.

• Gregory Fellow in Sculpture, University of Leeds, 1997-2000.

Wood has worked extensively throughout Europe as well as Scandanavia, Canada, America and Japan. He has enjoyed commercial representation through galleries in London, Paris and Turin and has worked with numerous national museums and artist-initiated projects.

His practice continues to explore the range of possibilities offered by a broad site-specific approach. From large-scale architectural installations, to more recent collaborative work formed around family and friends; Wood consistently works with ‘what is given'.

In recent work digital photography and video have been prominent, interplayed with an interest in more craft-based techniques such as wallpaper and ceramics. He has no preferred materials, techniques or modes of practice, as each project offers new opportunities and demands appropriate ways to be realised.
