Artists’ Talks: Luke Cotter & Hollie Wilkins
Saturday 19 December, 2.30pm
Elysium Gallery, 12-24 Belle Vue way, Swansea, SA1 5BY
Join us for an artists’ talk with Luke Cotter and Hollie Wilkins, recipients of the 2025–26 Elysium Sculpture Residency, as they discuss Tailing Amok, their exhibition of new work made from locally sourced waste materials.
Working with discarded wood, found objects and reclaimed materials, both artists explore ideas of value, consumption and our relationship with the material world. Luke reconstructs familiar objects to examine the connections between people and tools, while Hollie’s intuitive, material-led practice explores ecology, knowledge, power and the shifting boundaries between the social and natural worlds.
Discover the ideas, processes and materials behind their work, and gain insight into two distinctive approaches to contemporary sculpture.
