An interview with Wilfrid Wood

Wilfrid is a sculptor, of heads mostly. His approach lies somewhere between no-nonsense, and nonsense. And on his head, he wears a pair of Carnegies in Dark Turtle.

We asked him some questions about his bits and bobs and badinage and spectacles and everything in between. And he obliged, in a manner of speaking.
