Materials and Production of Hall and Moffat

Fiona Hall, 'Understorey' (1999-2004)
Material used: Glass beads, silver wire, rubber, boar's teeth
Method: Hall's Understorey employs glass beads threaded onto wire to create three-dimensional objects depicting elements of plant and human material. The use of camouflage patterning aptly depicts the juxtaposition of nature and the conflicts over territory threatening it.

Tracey Moffat, 'Fourth' (2001)
Material used: Photograph of sportspeople from the 2000 Summer Olympic Games
Method: Moffat's work since 2000 has retreated from specific locales and subject matter and become more explicitly concerned with fame and celebrity. Moffat has taken series photograph of sportspeople from the 2000 Summer Olympic Games coming fourth in their various competitions.
