Emily Hesse @ The Tetley

The exhibition, The Witches Institution (W.I.), is envisioned as an exercise in world building, aiming to imagine what a cultural institution run by witches could be.

Clay acts as a key material for The W.I. As well as working with clay as both Earth matter and craft material, Emily Hesse sees her sculptural practice as an expanded shaping of thoughts, histories and alternative futures. She uses the concept of magical materialism to produce objects, installations, diagrams and stories.
