Simone Hesselberg Somerset, United Kingdom
Simone Hesselberg is an emergent artist/curator/instigator based in Bristol with a studio at St Annes House. Simone's work work is centered around support structures, with a focus on alternative pedagogies, collaboration, and co-mentoring.
Simone Hesselberg's current work is informed by her investigation of physical and social support structures. By using forms found in construction, she explores ways that she can support, and be supported by, peers and collaborators. She is particularly interested in the use of sculpture and installation as a form of practice-based research in order to develop, connect and translate ideas derived from construction, architecture, mentoring, learning and relationships. Through a making practice, she is able to present the interpersonal part of her practice that isn’t always visible - thus exploring the multilayered, interdisciplinary approach of an artist-curator.
Simone holds a BA in Fine Art (Oxford Brookes University) and MA in Curating (University of the West of England).
