PLAQUE PRIZE 2019
Rebecca Howard
“When we build, let us think that we build forever.”
John Ruskin, The Seven Lamps of Architecture, ed. 1866.
Rebecca Howard’s practice is concerned with the illusionary and perceptual issues intrinsic to both architecture and photography. Through installation, she uses the photographic print as a tool to re-imagine architectural space and form, considering its sculptural, spatial and material qualities. Within the practice, there is an attempt to create a direct relationship between photographic and built space. John Ruskin’s quote (above) is interpreted through the image, as a continuing re-construction and re-presentation of architectural space.
Rebecca Howard is a PhD by practice candidate in Photography.
The Plaque Prize is an annual open call for Manchester School of Art students to propose a work which is designed to fit in the now vacant frame in the historic Grosvenor building. The selected work is displayed for a year.
