Artist Statement
Hilary Jack works across media in research based projects which often involve the collection, repair and regeneration of found objects in site referencial projects, public interventions and installations. She is interested in the life span of objects from manufacture through to consumption obsolesence and decay. Her interventions halt the process of obsolescence for the objects she chooses to work with and reference the peculiarities of a particular location.
