Discipline:

Visual Artist

Location:

London

ABOUT:

Concerned with the ontological status of domestic objects and images, Hazel’s practice analyses style and periodic change from her family’s lineage in inner-city Dublin to her own upbringing. Borrowing from the aesthetics of minimalism and retro-futurism alongside textures and colours from family memory, her work combines the familiar and the strange to create nostalgic uncanny forms. Referencing the stark differences between the world her parents grew up in and the world Hazel grew up in, she explores transmutations of anachronistic household objects taken from memory, family photos and global images to reference technological and economic transformations that define our current environment.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
