Molly Holland is an emerging artist based on Gadigal Land in Sydney, Australia. Inspired by her surrounds growing up in the Blue Mountains (Dharug/Gundungurra) her practice was centred in painting and printmaking before moving to clay and installation.  Molly explores touch as an overarching sense and an intuitive way of feeling and moving through space. Drawing from the experience of the gestures of constant movement, fidgeting, fiddling, pulling, picking and pinching, Molly explores the ways this tension from the body can be translated to interacting with materials, particularly malleable clay. Through processes of collaboration and exchange between body and material, Molly generates a heightened haptic and tactile sensibility. The physicality of clay and its ability to reflect the gesture of the hand and the marks and inflections of the body is important to Molly’s works. Clay clinging to surfaces creates a conversation between materials that is reminiscent of an experience of the body which is filled with tension and subjects to forces such as gravity to consider both fragility and resistance.
