studio1.1 is pleased to be hosting Sadie Hennessy's 'solo' show.

Sadie Hennessy is a multi-disciplinary artist whose roots lie in collage but who has expanded that idea to encompass the 3rd and 4th dimensions, creating immersive environments and events. She has recently introduced video, song, audio and neon into her work, alongside assemblage, also using performative elements in her practice all through a prism of melancholia mixed with humour that comes from the blacker end of the comedy spectrum.

'Earlier this year I was thinking about the idea of the 'artist's voice' or their signature style, and wondered if I had such a thing. In order to find out I put an Open Call out, inviting people to submit work that was in the style of my own, to be considered for inclusion in a 'solo show' (by me!). I gave them my website address (www.sadiehennessy.co.uk) as I didn't assume they'd be familiar with what I do. Then I waited to see what came back. There were over 70 responses which I whittled down to 45. These works have now been brought together in a beautiful publication, with essays from Dr. Lucy Hawairth, Camilla Ellingsen Webster and Professor `Matthew Worley, published by Ambitious Outsiders Press.'
