Artist in Residence, 1914FACES2014, October residency

Artist-in-residence – Paddy Hartley

Much of Paddy's work focuses on how the face can be, and is transformed or manipulated both through deliberate and unintentional intervention and the way in which we subsequently respond to these changes. Most notably in the design and production of his 'Face Corsets', producing facial implants for clinical use and latterly his output for 'Project Facade': responding to the surgical and personal stories of facially injured WWI servicemen

Paddy is working with academics in the College of Humanities and his work will be exhibited at a variety of locations in the region, including as part of the exhibition Faces of Conflict (Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery, 2015).
