Claw Drawing 8, 2007

details about this work


Holly Davey is based in Cardiff, Wales


I am a lens-based artist exploring time, performance and location. I make both photographs and video installations. The main focus of my practice is responding to the history of a building or site. At each location, I am interested in rediscovering the past, bringing it into the present and creating a new way of interacting with the building or site.
