About Keziah

Keziah is an artist living and working in Brighton who specialises in fine art sculpture.  She produces work in response to her surroundings, ranging from tactile abstract stone pieces inspired by travels to New Zealand, to her evocative bronze work in which she explores the negatives spaces created through human interaction.

"I am fascinated by human behaviour both social and physical. Something as simple and everyday as a hug can hold within it profound personal significance and emotional investment, yet the experience is so brief; so transient by its very nature.

In my sculptures, I am exploring the traces of human experience and interactions, such as the connections between us as we embrace. These can convey so much; sorrow, joy, passion, seduction, consolation, pride, exaltation and anger.

Using the literal physicality of an embrace, I solidify the space between the bodies as they touch. The negative cast of the space which is created then acts as solid memory of the act, its shapes and contours simplified abstracted and made tangible. In catching these fleeting moments of private intimacy and preserving them, preventing the memory from evaporating, I create an artefact. Each sculptural object visceral and reminiscent of the anatomy of the bodies that's brief connection crafted its formation. Each echoing the temporary nature of human life"

Keziah is a founding member of the 'First Avenue Artists Group' and organises regular exhibitions for the member artists.
