Patrick Colhoun, Always Looking Down on You
Ceramic, Meccano, Corian, rubber
130mm high x 200mm deep x 200 wide
Originally trained as a ceramicist, Patrick Colhoun's practice is now multi-disciplinary with sculptures and installations combining black clay, hosiery, latex, piercings and metal spikes. Colhoun has always strived to be unique with his art. He enjoys dividing opinion and invites the audience to either love or hate his sculptures! Surprisingly, the positive response to the darker themes encouraged Colhoun to push the boundaries of taste even further and he soon introduced objects and materials into the clay sculptures.
This piece is a development of the CCTV camera, but with the memory of a lost, loved one looking down on you, where ever you are, where ever you go, in the guise of a modern drone.
Materials, Messages and Meanings #9 Theme ‘Remember’
Six artists based in Northern Ireland have been selected from an open call as part of our Materials, Messages and Meaning series. Now in its ninth year, these exhibitions explore artists’ different approaches to materials, methods of production and messages within their work.
