Theme and Variation in Nature and Culture | Peter Randall-Page | TEDxExeter
Theme and variation are commonly associated with music. They are also ubiquitous in nature, but hardly noticed. Peter Randall-Page (born UK, 1954) studied sculpture at Bath Academy of Art (1973-77). He has gained an international reputation through his sculpture, drawings and prints; undertaken numerous large-scale commissions; and exhibited widely, including a solo show at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in 2009-10. His work is held in public and private collections throughout the world. In the UK, his public sculptures can be found in many urban and rural locations, including London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Bristol, Oxford and Cambridge, and his work is in the permanent collections of the Tate Gallery and the British Museum amongst others. -- TEDxExeter 2015 took the long view both back into the past and ahead into the future. We asked our speakers to help us understand the challenges that face us now - how they shape the way we live, make decisions, and innovate. Video Production Chromatrope (http://chromatrope.co.uk/) Production Manager Andy Robertson (http://www.youtube.com/familygamertv) This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
