We're delighted to announce a new exhibition of creations by Sid Burnard, opening on Saturday 25th April 2026.
Sid Burnard is putting together objects that make profound, witty and beautiful remarks about life, the universe and everything. Sam Llewellyn, acclaimed thriller writer and children’s author
There is something irresistible in the way Sid turns random detritus into objects of movement, elegance and wit. Simon Beaufoy, screenwriter, 'Slumdog Millionaire'
This will be 78 year old Sid Burnard’s 4th Goldmark show. His work is made from the jetsam he finds lying about on beaches, riverbanks and hedges. What others may think of as junk Sid treats as precious cargo to fetch back to his studio, study and play with, until he finally and magically transforms them into a bird, a beast, an insect or a boat.
Sid Burnard is a true eccentric and the loveliest man you will ever meet. He spends his time scouring the beaches for driftwood and all manner of objects that might eventually be used in his assemblages. His unique creations, whether birds, boats or mythical beasts, are bursting with passion, integrity and his unique and wonderful humour. Jay Goldmark
