Art Practice
Colin Higginson’s practice spans sculpture, installation, film, and performance, exploring themes of time, memory, and the human condition.
Influenced by archaeology and shaped by time spent in museums and archives, his work has examined the relationship between sculptural objects, archival materials, and systems of display. Through processes of making and presentation, he reconfigures these relationships to open space for new narratives and alternative readings.
His current practice turns towards landscape and our physical and emotional relationship with the natural world, considering human impact and environmental change. Drawing on forms such as rocks, crystals, branches, and geological structures, the work reflects on ideas of authenticity, imitation, preservation, and the traces left through processes of transformation.
Using materials including wax, resin, clay, paper, and copper sulphate, Higginson creates objects that resemble stone, bone, geological or archaeological specimens. These works consider attempts to preserve and make visible what continues to transform over time.
