\n
All welcome<\/div>\n

Derek’s work is referenced from experiencing places, surfaces, discarded items and the ever-changing light and weather. From this, he uses a variety of media to build surfaces which attemptt to capture some fleeting memory of these encounters.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\nDerek Boak works in Southport. He taught in secondary and sixth-form education for nearly forty years, encouraging students to work with local and national artists through studio practice.<\/div>\n
\nIn 1993, he was the team coordinator for Anthony Gormley during the creation of ‘Field for the British Isles, installing the work at Tate Liverpool and St. Helens College.<\/div>\n
\nHe became a Manchester Academy of Fine Arts member in 2004, serving on its council for four years and continues to exhibit with them regularly.<\/div>\n
