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.
Cubitts: What word would people use to describe you?
Wilfrid: Hairy.
C: What three words would you use to describe yourself?
W: Anxious, pessimistic, obsessive.
C: What is the most beautiful thing in the world?
W: My boyfriend’s feet.

C: What three words would you use to describe your spectacles?
W: A necessary evil.
C: ‘My spectacles make me feel…’

It's not quite what we were looking for, but we'll take it. See more of Wilfrid's bits and bobs here.
