Hamish Pearch
Hamish Pearch (b. 1993, London, UK) earned his BFA from Camberwell College of Arts (UAL) in 2015 and received a Postgraduate Diploma from the Royal Academy Schools, London, 2019.
His practice spans sculpture, installation, drawing, and sound. Pearch is drawn to the inherent contradictions within both everyday materials and natural phenomena, shaping his work around these tensions to explore how space, form, and perception intersect.
Pearch probes the fluidity between the man-made and the natural. His sculptures are sites of potential — volatile objects that teeter on the edge of transformation. Through a delicate and often subtle manipulation of materials, he creates uncanny scenarios that play with our sense of balance and stability. The works evoke a quiet instability, suggesting a world in perpetual flux, where things are never quite what they seem.
