Born in London 1982, studied History of Art at Emmanuel College, Cambridge University before moving to Kuwait to study Arabic and paint. Spent time in the Middle East including Iran, Iraq, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. |

| About the Artist | |
Working with the aesthetic boundaries that have emerged from 'Islamic art', Hodgkinson makes work that engages in finding a space between the ongoing tradition of geometry as used in architecture and art, and investigations of a more human dimension. |
