Oliver Getley
b. 1996, Stafford, UK. Based in Leeds.
Oliver Getley works between London and Leeds. His sculptural practice is concept and process driven. He uses collaborative and improvisatory techniques to experiment across projects using sound, technology and site-responsive exhibition making. A central concern of his practice is the creation of sculptural encounters through a reverse engineering of objects and sites, using formal approaches to found material.
