Hilary Jack works across media in research based projects which often involve the collection, repair and rejuvenation of discarded and broken material collected from city streets, charity shops and ebay. The objects she is drawn to are often imbued with a strong sense of human presence, and reference the increasingly accelerated journey objects make from production to consumption, obsolescence and decay.
Hilary is currently showing in Save Us at Christ Church Macclesfield with Ian Davenport, David Shrigley, Mit Senoj, Nick Crowe and Ian Rawlinson. Recent exhibitions include Mortars at Dawn, at Leroy House with Carter Presents, London, Strangeness and Charm with Fieldgate Gallery, London and The Social Lives of Objects at Castlefield Gallery with Dallas Seitz and Lisa Penny.
Hilary is a published writer and along with Paul Harfleet was co curator of Apartment and Art Transpennine08.
