Philip Tonkyn

Before I visited Philip Tonkyn's photography exhibition I got in contact with Philip via email to ask him information on the location and the exhibition. Since visiting his exhibition I have decided to research and have chosen to write about Philip Tonkyn and his work for my Personal Study.

Philip Tonkyn was born and brought up in Glastonbury. He initially studied Sculpture at Somerset College of Art (where the exhibition took place). He has been an artist, illustrator and Art teacher for over forty years. He now uses Photography as a starting points for his artwork, 'creating a vision of a liminal Otherworld where matter and spirit join in the marriage of landscape and light'.
