Patricia Hall
MA Fine Art
Throughout the MA I have asked myself ‘how can my sculptural practice give meaning to the relationship between objects and space to generate a content that can take over from language?’
I have shifted the parameters of my practice, making work more loosely, testing my own thresholds for tolerance and finish, learning to trust my material sense, disrupting my own ‘go to’ methods and allowing the work to grow in scale and visibility.
Environmental concerns have driven a desire to repurpose but, crucially, I want to highlight the previous life of objects, using time worn materials which speak of the people that have handled them before.
The most recent body of work has called into question the disciplinarity of the practice. Somewhere between sculpture and installation, my first intervention, made to transform a space and activate the viewer forces one to look up and turn around whilst being careful not to tread on anything.
