Heidi Pearce @ Bermondsey Project Space

Heidi Pearce works with soft sculpture, puppetry and painting.  She developed her ‘Lights on Uncanny’ theory that introduces a new mode of ‘uncanniness’ within contemporary art.   In Lights on Blue Days, Heidi presents a body of work that encourages the viewer to question their tension – or indeed complacency – surrounding overfamiliarity.  Rejecting the concept of ‘darkness’, her sculptures source uncanny power through ambiguity and familiarity; awkwardly looming, these forms suggest an uncomfortable, yet energetic, existence.
