Artist statement
Oliver Getley is an interdisciplinary artist based in Leeds, UK. His practice is concept and research driven, often working project-to-project to explore experimental and emergent creative approaches which span a variety of production methods, including; sculpture, sound, performativity, moving-image and exhibition-making. He is interested in artist-led and DIY activity as a political approach to culture-making and the development of alternative learning methods. A recurrent interest of his work has been the development of sculptural encounters through the reverse engineering of object and site. Recent work has involved the creation of kinetic sculpture and sound devices through mapping and self-built circuitry.
