ARTEFACT No.1

A sculptural journey of physicality, making marks, of spit and polish, redefining the territories and rituals of beauty. Working with Beauty Papers, Hambling has created the sculptures which resonate with the sense of touch that is central to her practice, starting each day with an ink drawing. Drawing parallels between the deep blue of the ink and the mascara she wears to confront the world, each of the Silver Sleeper sculptures convey the lightness of clouds in the solidity of precious metal and act as a receptacle for the dark inky lash paint that mirrors the night sky.
