Siân Torrington (she/her) is a Wellington-based artist whose practice reflects her overlapping areas of interest and formal study: fine arts, philosophy and textiles. Her three dimensional works quite literally thread together everyday materials, found objects, scraps, fabric to create highly tactile and colourful assemblages.
These organic, playful and vaguely disturbing constructions channel early Louise Bourgeois and Eva Hesse and evoke the more current work of Joanna Vasconcelos and they continue to challenge and complicate the boundaries between art, craft and domestic labour.
Her paintings, more like drawings on a collision course with colour and dimension, are equally bold, colourful and full of energy.
