Hayley Harrison


About

Hayley Harrison was born in Cambridgeshire in 1983 and graduated from Sheffield Hallam University with a BA HONS Fine Art degree in 2005. She has participated in several group shows since graduation and in 2011 she was short listed for the New lights Exhibition at the Mercer Gallery in Harrogate.

Hayley is “a lover of objects and stories, not necessarily in the historical sense but the bits that are not said. She is drawn to the enchantment of ‘place’, and the often cold reality of that enchantment.” Her studio practice is currently based in London.

Hayley’s blog, Something’s Happening, was awarded Choice Blog on a-n Artists Talking for July 2011.

Hayley works predominantly with painting, but also uses drawing and text. Her work currently questions what ‘Home’ is, in both a physical and psychological sense. Recent paintings invoke a sense of timelessness and absence. She is interested in how we recognise ourselves in the quiet moments that surround objects and place. Read More
