Inside The Gallery

Donna Marcus, a multidisciplinary artist, discusses her artistic background and her use of kitchenware and cooking pots in her work. In conversation with curator Professor Pedram Khosronejad, she explains how she became fascinated with aluminum objects, particularly lightweight aluminum objects, and the stories and narratives they hold.

Covering her public artworks and how they inform her studio practice. Donna explores the significance of aluminum as a material of modernism and its connection to post-war period and domesticity.

Her work is currently on exhibition at HOTA Gallery, which showcases her installations and explores themes of feminism, migration, and consumption, and also at Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert (23 March until the 5 May 2024) which features a colour study of works and older pieces from her collection.
