Art Practice
Colin Higginson’s multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, installation, film, and performance, exploring time, memory, and our physical and emotional relationship with the natural world. Influenced by archaeology, museums, and informed by the Anthropocene and dystopian science fiction, his work considers human impact on the environment and the traces left by change.
Using materials such as wax, resin, clay, metal, fabric, paper, and copper sulphate, Higginson makes objects that mimic natural forms, stone, bone, and geological or archaeological specimens. Often fragile and unstable, these works explore authenticity, imitation, permanence, and preservation, reflecting the tension between our desire to hold on to the past and the inevitability of transformation. Looking between past and future, the practice considers what remains as our environment continues to change.
