Marches Makers Festival Artist 2021
Charlie Hurcombe
Throughout my practice there is a concern for the construction and fabrication of sculptural structures, the manipulation of materials and visible methods of assembly, which in turn references not only production and manufacturing but also the hand-made.
Often the seemingly simple act of transforming 2D flat sheet material into 3D volumetric form is a significant aspect of the creative process. Particular emphasis is placed on the coexistence of disrupted forms and reflective lustrous surfaces and makes reference to both sculpture and painting. Sheet materials such as plywood feature prominently and much recent work utilises found, discarded and reclaimed materials. Drawings are made in response to and as an exploration of certain sculptural concerns within my practice.
