53 Days of February, March, April (2018)

Benji Hartfield

Involving a range of multi-disciplinary media, Benji presents photographic, video, sculpture, mixed media, ephemera and audio installation work. The curation of these works presented in the artist’s old room at his family's home brings about a palpable sense of closeness and intimacy for the viewer, who not only find themselves experiencing a time of Benji’s life but also existing within his space.
