Manchester-based artist Samantha Donnelly’s practice is primarily sculptural. She has a materials-led approach to making, underpinned by references to art history and popular culture — specifically photography, TV, film and adverts. Her work evolves through questioning, rephrasing and reworking a range of sculptural matter, mass-produced household wares, imported fashion bargains and second-hand finds over a period of time.
This way of making mirrors conventions found in the media (editing, cropping, elimination, montage, narration). Join us for an exclusive VIP preview of Donnelly’s next solo show at Ceri Hand Gallery, and the chance to hear her talk about her work.
