Mary Branson's practice stems from an examination of the role of the social, religious or commercial rituals within everyday life.
Using familiar objects and materials, and experimenting with scale, light, colour and multiplicity, she transforms functional items into challenging new environments that are stimulating, playful, and through being free from the constraints of the gallery, can question the existing polemics concerning art and the space it inhabits.
Her subjects for this `amplification of the everyday' have ranged from tents, bird boxes, short-wave radio transmissions, fishing rods, and the act of communion.
She was nominated for the Becks Futures prize 2005. |
