Mechanical Bodies and Dissected Detritus (HOLLY HENDRY)

Guest artist HOLLY HENDRY

joins ELIZABETH FULLERTON to chat about her work via Tom McCarthy's 2005 novel 'Remainder' in which the nameless narrator must re-learn body movements after a debilitating accident. He is awarded a ridiculous sum in compensation which he uses to re-enact past happenings in microscopic detail, increasingly absurd and violent in nature.

Holly is a lot more pleasant. However, she is also compelled to open up the surface of objects to discover what's inside. How things work. And when that cannot be done physically, it is explored as an idea. 

Elizabeth and Holly discuss her major recent, current and upcoming exhibitions:
