Biography
Blake Britton was born in Phoenix, Arizona
in 1978. He received a bachelor's degree in physical
anthropology from Arizona State University in 2001.
In 2002 he focused on what had always been an interest
and began to produce sculptural works eventually earning
a masters degree in sculpture from California State
University, Chico in 2007. He currently lives and works
as an artist and prop maker for film in Portland, Oregon.
Enchanted by process, materials and anthropology he
strives for a relevant combination of experimentation
and idea in the objects he creates, resulting in objects
that walk the line between formal and conceptual.
