ADHOC: Bio

ADHOC is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of art, design and cultural critique, with a current focus on silversmithing, digital video and hand-built objects. Their work spanning over 20 years explores points of deeply private, emotional resonance for audiences by producing tensions between personhood and social constructs of being.
