Roger Ackling Biography
Roger Ackling (born in London in 1947) has worked in a variety of locations, from the remote beaches of England and Iceland to Manhattan and Japan. With the use of a simple magnifying glass, Ackling concentrates the rays of the sun in order to burn and mark the surfaces of driftwood he has come across.
Ackling has exhibited regularly since 1976 in Europe, Asia and the United States. His work is found in numerous collections, including those of the Tate Gallery, London; the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; the Hiroshima Museum of Art; the Museo Cantonale d'Arte, Lugano; and the Arts Council of Great Britain. Ackling lives and works in Norfolk.
