I respond strongly to the idea of a signifier of place, an object that has clarity of form, yet with associations from memory and experience, which are more elusive and resonant.
I am inclined towards sculpture that can act as a tool for seeing or for framing the environment. My studio practice engages with specific environments, public and private, and reflects the everyday, either in materials or process, or both.
Tyler Hodgins lives with his family in Victoria, BC. He has exhibited widely, and has work in public and private collections in Canada and the United States. Hodgins’ work is primarily sculptural, and includes video, photography, installation and public art. Projects focus on themes of home, language, repetition/reproduction, and chance. Glass Half Full, his most recent public art project, will be unveiled at Holland Point Park on Dallas Road, Victoria, on August 19th. A temporary installation, Watch This Space (2010), will appear at the Vancouver Island School of Art this September.
