Campbell Patterson

"Campbell Patterson was born in Portsmouth, England, and lives and works in Auckland. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts, from the Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland.
Patterson's practice is driven by every day experiences in the suburban environment and he uses a variety of mediums flexibly and interchangeably. He has a interest in observation and marking units and passage of time. 
His short videos and sculptural objects have been described as walking a fine line between stoic pragmatism and repetitive absurdity, and his paintings have been referred to as stemming from his conscious immersion in the mundane. In his video work he documents the use of his own body and its interactions with his immediate environment such as Holding my Mother (ongoing), where he does just that, for as long as he can."
