The artist takes numerous photographs in these places, then creates intricate drawings in the studio, combining elements from the photographs with memories and intuitive mark-making. He also works in photography and video. For over two decades, Blake curated for organisations such as the National Galleries of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland, the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Centre, and the Denver Art Museum.
