Kirsty Hendry
Kirsty graduated from Gray's School of Art with a BA Hons degree in
Printmaking. She describes the influence for her work below;
Fetish (noun)
1. Object of Obsession: an object, idea, or activity that somebody
is irrationally obsessed with or attached to.
2. Magical Object: something, especially and inanimate object,
that is worshipped because it is believed to have magical
powers or be animated by a spirit.
'The work is an investigation into the relationship between humanity
and the object: our primal urge to collect. It is a statement that is
concerned with the disavowal of knowledge in favour of belief: our
compulsive need to invest and divest ourselves into something more
permanent than flesh.
My creative practice reflects this notion through the very characteristics
of print itself. The capacity that print has for seriality, collage and
manipulation and the compulsion to repeat holds obvious common
ground to this notion of accumulation.'
