Sally Colledge
Northbrook College Sussex, Fine Art
I make ephemeral structures and installations that explore themes of multiplicity and fragility. My work is process-led and focuses on the innate characteristics of materials. I typically use multiple readymade objects or expanses of a single material and apply a repetitive process to them, allowing the inherent qualities of the materials and the space in which the installation is shown, to play a part in determining the form of the work. Using familiar objects and materials in an unfamiliar way, I challenge the viewer’s perception of them, transforming the commonplace into something unexpected and strange. I am influenced by the work of artists such as Eva Hesse, Tom Friedman, Mona Hatoum, Anish Kapoor and Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
