DescriptionLittle studied BA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins. From the banality of an egg found in the fridge to a crumbling displaced limb from a derelict statue, her interests manifest in relational hierarchies and attitudes of (in)difference to what it means to be just another object of the world. Classical and historical references allude to the ‘masterpiece’, attempting to materialise a form of collected memory. Yet occupying a place alongside more distorted forms and uncertainty, Little questions their ontology.
