New studio holder: Christine Hinchliffe

South Square has recently welcomed a new studio holder, Christine Hinchcliffe, who currently has some works on display in our Sculpture Garden. Christine studied at Leeds College of Art 2006-2008 and gained a BA [Hons] Fine Art from Bradford College 2011.

Her most recent works include:
On the Edge Festival at the Temple Works Leeds July 2011 an installation using linen thread and wool slub.
Bradford Open 2011 an embossed print
Sculpture - Elder Web made using Elder and jute South Square Sculpture Garden May 2011
Sound Installation Bradford College 2010 a CD of this work is held in their permanent collection

She is currently exhibiting and curating with a number of fellow recent graduates from Bradford College. The exhibition entitled “Sofa......so good” is on from Aug 3rd to Sept 3rd at Bradford Playhouse Cafe/Cellar Bar, Chapel Street, Bradford 

'I work in an organic and intuitive way using natural and found materials that allow the beauty of the materials to be seen using a wide variety of mediums such as print, installation, sculpture, and sound. I like exploring the ephemeral quality of memory and the spaces it inhabits and the transient nature of our lives and the things we collect along the way.'

'I am excited and looking forward to my time at South Square and exploring the landscape around Thornton, an area that is new to me.'
