We all have so much to be grateful to Corsham for, but I have
Jeremy Rees to especially thank for starting me on a 30 year career as a curator.
As a student, I met Jeremy (who founded Arnolfini/Bristol and who very sadly died recently) when
he taught typography part time at Corsham to support the gallery. When looking for someone to take on the
running of the gallery part of Arnolfini prior to the move to Bush House and around 1975, Jeremy called me
out-of-the-blue and asked if I would be interested in working with him. At Arnolfini I met my wife Jill
(then and now again, a professional cook) and we have 2 sons, a sculptor and a web designer
(a nice balance). I kept in contact with Jeremy until shortly before he died and he never failed to
give me advice and encouragement, particularly over the project that I’m still working on - see

Best wishes
