Angela Hogg

Native Splendour

3rd July - 14th August

Angela Hogg makes constructed objects from discarded ceramics that describe a reflection on class, family and the creative impulse. Oscillating between good and bad ‘taste’ and all that lies between. They trace the borders of an archaic impulse to display objects, particularly our unthinking, but elemental reflex to make and display representations of animals - as indifferently modelled jokes, mass produced shelf filler, ‘gifts’ and sentimental memos of places visited. These works are a form of autoethnographic practice for the artist, treating disposable mass produced ceramics as units of signification of formative environments, both emotional and physical. They are a reconstruction of cultural ‘trash’ to form alternative ideas around display, beauty, taste and meaning.

Angela Hogg is an artist and educator living and working in London. She has been making this body of work since 2019.
