“Materiality is fundamental to me, I only work with materials I think of as 'honest' in what they are and what they represent. The lists of materials annotating artworks are as interesting to me as the work itself."

Henrietta Cane (b.1996), is a London based multidisciplinary artist who's practice crosses conceptual hand-crafted sculpture, drawing and printmaking. ​

​

After focusing both their undergraduate and postgraduate studies on textiles, Cane's approach to the visual arts has deep roots in the methodology and practice of traditional making, with hand weaving, fibre spinning and hand dyeing playing a centralised role in their process. Additional avenues of ceramics, sculpting and printmaking were developed once Cane graduated from the Royal College of Art. ​​

“The handmade object has always held an emotional significance with me. The residue of human touch, effort and care transforms an object into an endearing capsule of real life."
