Studio Haygarth

Elevating the commonplace or discarded object is a central tenant of Haygarth’s work. His exquisite designs and installations have employed the flotsam and jetsam of everyday life – whether produced from thousands of nitrous oxide capsules or vintage vanity mirrors. Creating order and symmetry out of randomness and waste, his work is as much about the process of collecting and collating materials as the elevation of these materials to objects of value or beauty. By constructing narratives about time, loss, abandonment, and modernity, these human aspects attached to the chosen objects are an integral part and driving force within the work. As he has said, ‘My work revolves around everyday objects, often collected in large quantities and over long periods of time, categorized and presented in such a way that they are given new meaning. It is about banal and overlooked items gaining new significance’.
