Sophont in Action, Until 20 July

Holman is one of today’s most innovative and exciting artists, regularly experimenting with the use of props and costumes in her work, and this collection of her work exemplifies this. A project-based artist, Holman shows her commitment to her work in her lengthy explorations of the subjects of her art before production of the work itself begins…

Often incorporating popular culture references and subcultures, her art explores a wide range of issues. This exhibition alone considers the relationship between fantasy and reality, technology and spirituality and investigates these concepts with the use of a variety of mediums including sculpture, video and paint. Her use of the extra terrestrial in Sophont in Action is particularly interesting.
