Patrick Colhoun, Held Together

One off original edition

Ceramic, hosiery

Each piece 120mm high x 180mm deep x 150mm wide

Originally trained as a ceramicist, Patrick Colhoun's practice is now multi-disciplinary with sculptures and installations combining black clay, hosiery, latex, piercings and metal spikes. Colhoun has always strived to be unique with his art. He enjoys dividing opinion and invites the audience to either love or hate his sculptures! Surprisingly, the positive response to the darker themes encouraged Colhoun to push the boundaries of taste even further and he soon introduced objects and materials into the clay sculptures.

A pair of downward looking, non-communicative heads, held together with hosiery.
