BASED UPON IS AN ARTIST. GUIDED BY TWIN BROTHERS IAN AND RICHARD ABELL, BASED UPON TRAVELS THE WORLD TO GATHER NARRATIVES, MEMORIES, TEXTURES & HISTORIES. IN THE LONDON STUDIO, THESE GROW INTO SCULPTURAL WORKS WHICH LOOK AT NOTIONS OF WHOLENESS AND SEPARATION, THE NATURAL AND THE MANMADE. THESE WORKS TELL STORIES: OF BASED UPON’S OWN EXPERIENCES OR THOSE OF ITS CLIENTS. EACH BASED UPON WORK CARRIES THE INTENTION OF ITS MAKER; EVERY PIECE RESONATING WITH THE PERSONAL OR PHYSICAL LANDSCAPES FROM WHICH IT WAS CONCEIVED.
