ABOUT

Hayley Reynolds-MacLean’s practice embraces texture by combining painting with craft-based materiality to produce surfaces that feel raw, naïve, and imperfect. Visible brushstrokes, unprimed canvas, puncture points, and the fallibility of materials are encouraged and exposed, deepening the narrative of the work.

Pushing against any form of perfection, my work speaks of a memory, something unfinished, gently hovering in that space between holding and release.

Hayley will complete their BAFA at Goldsmith’s, University of London in 2027.
