Spadge Hopkins Artist
Spadge Hopkins was the lead creative for “Coda”, the permanent public art memorial to Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd at The Cambridge Corn Exchange in 2016. He saw the Calder exhibition at the Tate Modern during the period he was producing all the main ideas and themes for the piece. “Syd” was born the next day!

Many of Spadge’s pieces are unique. Several of his copper sculptures have been hand made in a limited batch of 5. The process of laser cutting which is all done by Spadge himself except for the actual machine work, lends itself to mass-production. However, all Spadge’s designs are limited to a run of 10, no matter what size. They are now marked as ev (edition Variee) */10 as well as being signed.
