Hardy has opened up the galleries into a series of landscapes – immersive environments, which the artist calls ‘Fields’.
Within the spaces, we encounter built structures, objects, colour fields of carpet and audio. Her starting points for work are often found or ‘lost’ objects, for example, a breezeblock that had been adapted to be a weightlifting weight. The ‘lost’ sounds that occur in the processes of making her work are recorded, then used in audio compositions. Offcuts of hardboard from previous works are used here to define a shape for the newly built structure in the Upper Gallery.
