The transformation from the mundane to the extraordinary is a persistent theme within Hilary Jack’s work. Jack collects broken and discarded material, from a variety of sources, from city streets, the countryside, ebay and charity shops, she then transforms and rejuvenates her subjects, occasionally returning them to their previous locations.
