Artistic Practice

​

Artistic practice dissects relationships by exploring their function, their form and the situations that alter and determine them. Her multidisciplinary practice incorporates drawing, text, collage, performance, sculpture, installation, sound, photography and film.

Current practice has led to exploring the relationship between the mother-daughter dynamic and how society's idealisation of motherhood imprints throughout female generations.

​

She sees herself as a gatherer and interpreter. A gatherer of memories. A gatherer of objects. A gatherer of other people's experiences. Which she then interprets via a lengthy process of research and internal interrogation.

​

By examining experiences, often autobiographical in origin, Hobbs considers the reliability of memory. She investigates how mementos, imagery, sounds and smells can create a form of mental archiving that reaches beyond personal recollection towards a wider recognition of the experience of that memory.
