About the Artists
Abigail Hunt has a research-based art practice incorporating collage, sculpture, installation, social engagement and event-based performance. Collaborative works with other artists and the public explore the conceptual space between form and function, often creating large-scale structures, installations and environments that invite a response or involve a direct interaction with audience. Abigail has worked as an educator for over 25 years working with galleries, museums, schools and other groups and across all ages. Projects and commissions have included working with UpProjects, Tate, IKON, Gasworks, Camden Arts Centre, The Science Gallery, Whitstable Biennale, National Trust, Orleans House Gallery and Great Ormond Street Hospital. She is an Associate Lecturer at Bath Spa University and works across BA and MA courses in Fine Art, Creative Arts Practice and Architecture.
Within a practice held together with tape, makeshift fixes and good intentions, Tse-Cappi explores how storytelling, space, objects and materials construct experience. Outputs span art direction, motion and graphic design, illustration, object-making, exhibition and interior design, public/community art, and commissions for commercial and editorial contexts. Glitch aesthetics, DIY methods and shonky materiality turn errors into catalysts for improvisation and hands-on experimentation. In her teaching (Integrated Foundation; Product & Furniture, Interiors, and Architecture), learners test, unmake, reassemble through messy processes, makeshift materials –producing speculative functional/dysfunctional artefacts and spatial experiments that ask: “what if?”
