Hattie Kongaunruan

Hattie is a sculpture artist whose practice focuses on upcycling furniture. Her work largely looks to transform chairs found on the street or from recycling sites into whimsical characters and surreal structures, reacting to their salvage from landfill. She avoids using new materials in her practice to encourage audiences to similarly find beauty, humour and pleasure in objects that already exist.

Currently Hattie works at Manchester Museum as their Jerwood Arts Fellow and Creative Producer for the South Asia Gallery Performing Arts to actively diversify their programmes and artistic pool. She is also the Head of Communications & Co-ordinator of Terra Movement, an online platform that encourages ecological activism through a community of illustrators, artists and creatives.
