ABOUT
Board member of CONSTANCE ARI
Holly Greaves is a multidisciplinary artist born and based in lutruwita/Tasmania. Her practice revolves around vulnerable and intimate circumstances, that she typically feels within abject-mundane objects and spaces.
Greaves’ art practice incorporates methods that enable her to engage with her fascination for subtle traces of effect and affect in the world; such as the long-term erosion of clothing, or the slow build-up of fingerprints on light switches. Greaves is drawn to the uncontrived quality of these kinds inadvertent frottages and indices.
Predominantly using at-hand industrial materials, Greaves works across, whilst simultaneously tests the boundaries of, disciplines including drawing, performance, sculpture and installation. She is interested in learning the emotional histories of places and things, not by working in response to them, but by working with them.
