Father

Hettie says: ‘The representation of identity and human existence is at the heart of my practice. Existentialism, individuality, connectivity and our desire to be part of a homogenous group are subjects of interest – all are sparked by my desire to explore identity beyond arbitrary labels and my feelings of detachment as a person of colour within education. Art should be accessible. I believe taking artistic expression into the public domain is integral to abandoning Eurocentric exclusivity because the expression of our differing identities should be seen – and produced – by all communities.  I want my work to ask the viewer, who are we? How do we move through the world?”.
