Carole Hodgson: Sculpture and Works on Paper features
seventeen sculptures and eight collages by British artist Carole
Hodgson. The artist’s response to her observation of landscapes,
buildings, and live objects is the inspiration for the works in the
exhibition.
I feel strongly that if visual observation is to progress then extensions of the senses have to be challenged
to reveal unseen forces, systems, relationships, connections, transformations - the issues and concerns of
drawing

of Fine Art in London. She spent four years traveling to
archaeological sites in Asia and South America. Her travels helped
