We’re excited to share a new limited edition print by artist Holly Hendry as part of our Patron Programme.
Labyrinth (2024) by Holly Hendry (Experimental Architecture Fellow, 2019) has been created especially for our generous Director’s Circle Patrons.
A sculptural entanglement between body and building; Labyrinth responds to architectural methods of sectional drawings and the origins of the word as a confusing maze-like structure. The work presents a visualisation of the innermost part of the ear (also known as the labyrinth), which relays sounds to the brain and is responsible for hearing.
This larger vestibular system, a complex set of fluid-filled channels, contributes to a sense of physical balance. The work has been influenced by research into ancient visualisations of water and nautical maps, where watery fluctuations curl and entwine together, representing water in motion as well as the geographical mapping.
If you would like to support artists and enjoy a range of benefits, including invitations to one-off events and gatherings, our annual award ceremony, and limited edition artworks by Arts Foundation Fellows, we invite you to become a Friend and Patron of the Arts Foundation.
Every donation goes straight to artists as part of our unique Fellowship programme, directly supporting the livelihoods and future generations of artists and creatives in the UK.
Given ongoing precarity across the arts and culture sector, there has never been a more urgent time to support artists and creatives. We feel it is essential to continue to provide financial support without constraints to exceptional but often under-supported, independent practitioners.
