John Holland
Country of residence ukJohn Holland’s installations portray a kind of nature that’s at once intimate, romantic, and totally adulterated by man made tat. He uses a plethora of ordinary but out of context materials – sawn timber, plasticine, silicon rubber, gaffer tape, fibreglass, polystyrene, vaseline, house paint, fur, air freshener – making landscapes in which realistic birds and animals inhabit a space toxically laden with barely transformed matter. ‘I assert the primacy of material specificity as a tool against the bad generalities of ideologies, strategies, metaphors and literary interpretations. The job is to avoid everything bar facts, sentiment, and the hope of a little bit of sympathetic magic.’ John
