Hamish Young

Hamish Young (b. 1972 Rotherham, UK) studied Sculpture at the Royal College of Art (1996-1998) and became a Royal West of England Academician in 2021. Young’s autoethnographic work is concerned with formalising ‘in between’ spaces drawing on feelings associated with loss and abandonment from his childhood experiences. He has cultivated a schism in his art practice that manifests in crossing the boundary of sculpture and drawing, objects or materials being removed from one place and placed in another and subject matter of physical spaces that are between states. Through allusions his work triggers metaphors and personal associations.
