Title: Louise Haselton
Description: Louise Haselton offers glimpses of the curious inner lives of everyday and overlooked things. From the domestic to the exotic, the natural to the "made", she distinctively intuits connections between seemingly disparate material vernaculars. Haselton believes in the invisible forces that bind and repel the world around us. With a witty reverence for the objects and materials she engages with, Haselton explores the communicative possibilities of weight, balance and form within her predominantly sculptural works. Her practice is unexpected, unconventional, and exemplary of an artist especially attuned to the matters which surround us. "Louise Haselton: Act Natural" is a compendium of Haselton's works to date including illustrated essays chronicling the inspirations, influences and ideas behind her extraordinary practice of the last twenty-five years.
