Heidi Seetzen is an artist and sociologist. After working as a lecturer at Kingston University for many years, she trained at the London Art Academy in order to explore sculptural techniques and develop her artistic practice. Her work is predominantly sculptural and figurative. She uses everyday materials, such as fencing wire, bricks, reclaimed wood, stones or cement to explore the fragility of human existence and embodied experiences of becoming. Her intricate wire sculptures are intended to convey the sense of movement and emotion embedded in human gestures. Through the use of negative space – cracks in cement or the ‘empty’ spaces circumscribed through wire – her sculptures invite viewers to contemplate the relationship between inner and outer selves, and between embodied and situated experience.
