Rock Faces
Spadge Hopkins was the lead creative for “Coda”, the permanent art memorial to Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd in The Cambridge Corn Exchange and unveiled in 2017.
Since then and inspired by the experience, alongside his other art practices he created a series of sculptures depicting some of his favourite rock icons, which often involve movement, projection, light and shadow.

The music of Led Zeppelin has been hugely important to Spadge for the last forty years. It was therefore easy for him to conceive this tribute to, arguably the best rock drummer of all time, for display and use at The John Bonham Memorial event in 2018. Well-received by John's family, a film of the piece featured on the backdrop behind the various acts during the event and Spadge produced a number of complimentary pieces.
