Patricia MacKinnon-Day


Throughout the lecture Patricia spoke about her influences and the processes in her practice. Patricia explained how she’s interested in real peoples, lives and places she then uses the materials found in the areas she’s working in exploring the use of materiality in her work.

When listening to Patricia explain her work I noticed how important research is in her practice. For instance, one of her pieces involved Patricia visiting a family’s old tailoring building, she searched around the place looking for inspiration. Patricia found the families chalk and ground it up and used it to make a lace design on the floor from a lace she also found in the tailor’s place.

Honestly, I’m not a big fan of Patricia’s work personally but I can appreciate the excessive research and details that are involved in her practice.
