| 关于此艺术家 |
Based in East London
gARTdening
Over the summer the garden became Kirsty's second studio. The pull of the outdoors was too much to bear and sitting down at a desk to work became a less frequent scenario. There was nothing to do but embrace the situation and she began experimenting with text pieces in the space.
A poem lurks in the undergrowth and many cress works have come and gone as she literally ate her words.
The piece specifically made for this evening, from approx 10,230 seeds, will not last. Before Friday it will outgrow its form and be rendered unreadable - transformed back into food. The passing of time can be a threatening concept for most of us, yet for a gardener it reaps rewards. For the artist it provides a temporary platform through which she can exhibit.
Harris hopes to expand the work into a more public arena. The flats and forest nearby provide rich pickings for sites and she revels in the thought of a dog walker's random discovery.
DEATH BY INSTRUMENTS
Exhibited at Indo in August 2007, Death By Instruments captured the public's imagination.
"I had been playing around, inside my head, with how music and art could relate to each other. How they are displayed and marketed and how I could connect with the audience I most courted."
MINIATURE PORTRAITS
It was decided.
The theme would be masks and disguises.
My sitters were given complete choice over their masks.
What would they choose?
An enhancement to their physical appearance or a disguise?
Are they peacocks or cuckoos?
The masks became a bargaining tool to bribe people into letting me take their photograph.
A visible forcefield between them and the camera.
On a rare scale, more akin to snapshots taken 50 years ago there is nothing included in the painting to detract you from the subject and nowhere for them to gaze but straight back at you.
