Patrick Colhoun, Always Watching Over You - Memory Box
One off original edition
Ceramic, Meccano, Corian, rubber
320mm high x 400mm deep x 230mm 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.
The idea of a memory box is taken from the experience of clearing a house after a loved one passes away, of finding boxes with photographs, trinkets and treasured mementos.
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.
