OUTSIDES | EXHIBITION NOTES
Louise’s sculpture practice is increasingly driven by an interest in the way that materials around us, both manufactured and natural, can be experienced as simultaneously dead and alive. She gathers, alters, combines and repositions commonplace materials and objects, ‘activating’ them to draw attention to their deeper psychological potential. Her sculptural assemblages explore bodily and sensory responses to unexpected arrangements of things, their precision and physical tensions.
