A graduate of the Chelsea College of Art and Design, London-based Dan Edwards has worked at the heart of the British art world as a renowned picture framer, a career which has fed into his own practice with a naturally developing interest in the preservation, presentation and perception of contemporary artworks. Edwards returned to exhibiting in the North West with his first solo exhibition, titled ‘is this enough?’ at Blackburn’s PRISM gallery in late 2018. Edwards is set to enthusiastically embrace a residency with The Senator Group, a design-led furniture manufacturer established in 1976 by present day chairman Colin Mustoe MBE to create places to meet, dine and work with a difference. Outside marquee showroom in Clerkenwell, London and sites in Chicago, New York and Madrid the group’s principle manufacturing site is in Accrington, where £10 million has been invested in its state-of-the-art desk factory alone, from which over 300,000 desks, tables, storage systems and screens are exported every year.
