Ben Hartley

OOPARTs exhibition

Ben Hartley is a Bristol based artist primarily working in sculpture and installation.

Harnessing their perpetual state of eco-anxiety and preoccupation with material waste, for the last four years Ben’s practice has been centred around experimenting with low-impact, non-extractive and ecologically sustainable approaches to art-making with a focus on sculptural practice. Informed by the self-initiated method of working the Circular Practice, research, mapping, visual histories and speculative fiction, Ben is interested in telling stories through objects and materials.
