David Sherry 
b. 1974, Northern Ireland. Lives in Glasgow.
Lecturer in Art at Edinburgh College of Art.

My work includes performance, drawing, video, and sculpture. I am interested in making artworks that relate strongly to everyday life. Developing visual props and narratives for live work.

I am influenced by social interaction and observing ordinary behavior. Many everyday interactions become a source for my work. Drawing and writing is an important starting point, incorporating many different influences and opinions. I enjoy making live performances that give expression to my ideas and themes. Developing new possibilities for performance is a driving influence.

My studio practice interests encompass: everyday routines, pattern of social expectation, etiquette and humor in art / stand-up comedy.
