Ed Whitmore has always had a backward glance. This developed as a result of his parents violent uprooting of their lives in Poland during World War II. As a young man he developed an interest in ancient civilizations, ancient cairns, cave art and Earth Mother Goddess sites, which all served to reinforce a yearning for a lost past. This mindset is reflected in his choice of medium – the evocative build up of patina that develops as a result of the oxidation of iron, copper and bronze metal-effects paint. For the close observer, somber themes of decay and loss can be found in many of his pieces.
