Artist Statement:

Louise Winter is interested in questioning the fixed identities of objects and materials so they defy usual definitions and expectations, or, as the artist Tom Friedman has said, ‘Testing what matter is by allowing it not to be’.

Central to her practice are ideas of displacement: is the location of material central to its definition so that if it is displaced from its ‘real’ context can it still be regarded as the same object, where then does it exist, if at all?

Winter’s practice is investigative in its nature and form, moving between object, process, event and performance. She doesn’t ‘create’ objects, but works with already existing materials to collapse the distance between art and the mundane, exploring the poetic potential of the everyday.
