Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery

Through my work I aim to subvert the everyday, bringing importance and grandeur to things that are thought to have little or none. Stripping power from the mighty and empowering the weak. This could be aesthetic, political, media lead or whatever is in my remit at the time.

I like the sentiment certain objects/situations can hold and the memories they can evoke. I like to play with the idea of anobject/person/situations spiritual significance compared to its physical presence.

Through living in a big western city I'm strongly influenced and informed by consumerism, advertising, fashion and in the case of art - historic teaching and approval from the establishment.

My work can be thought of as a backlash against consumerism, fashion and what I am taught, as I often have great affection for things that I am told have no value and little connection to things, which are apparently significant.My end aim is to create beautiful, sensitive works that evoke an emotive response and provoke questions about humanity whilst containing what I consider to be, high artistic values.
