Found objects and images are the staring points to Abigail Hunt’s artistic practice. Through investigation, deconstruction and play, her imagery transforms from the readymade into delicate constructions.
Her practice is based upon a procession of tasks: the investigative research of an image, the deconstruction of a line, the disablement of form and finally the reconstruction and reconfiguration of the object. These processes are similar to that of understanding a new language. Through translating one language of images and the later reformation and retelling through made objects Abigail creates her own structures, tones and descriptions.
Abigail Hunt’s fascination with paper and repetitive and almost incomprehensibly impossible and meticulous processes has continued to be of interest within her work. Continually questioning notions of finite detail, artistic integrity and aesthetics, works consider ideas of definition and the point at which, through the process of change or deconstruction, an object becomes something it previously was not.
