Holly White’s practice is built around her life. An example being in her exhibition<br />
with Megan Rooney currently at <strong>Arcadia</strong> <strong>Missa</strong>, where she used one of our car<br />
parking spaces to build an allotment.<br />
When I asked if she wanted anything in the gallery to tell people about this (so they<br />
could go and view it as a part of the exhibition), she said no – as it wasn’t really a<br />
part of it. She didn’t want it be a conceptual art piece, it is just an allotment; she<br />
had the space and opportunity to make the allotment, so she did.<br />
The above slide, is a photograph of Holly and Megan by the allotment, the photo<br />
frame and image were made by Holly and installed within one of her sculptures,<br />
which has been placed by the allotment, and re-photgraphed.<br />
She made work out of it – images and updates online of the success of the<br />
vegetables’ growth, the allotment as a site for documentation of the collaboration<br />
with Megan Rooney for the exhibition.<br />
But, just as Amalia’s selfies aren’t the work itself, these moments in holly’s life, this<br />
labour, is all material to respond to and make her sculpture and video works about.
