Olivia Stone is a multidisciplinary Artist, more recently working with stone and sculpture.
Her research has explored and mainly focused on human connection beyond the physical form, creating figurative large-scale paintings to fine and dainty sculpture she encapsulates connection, motion, intimacy and form. Olivia is fascinated by connections between people- ones that go unspoken yet can be deeply felt. More recently she has been working with limestone and taking inspiration from Alberto Giacometti and Henry Moore and their concepts of ‘the void’ to explore idea of connection as being something that is transcendent and an energy that goes beyond physicality. Olivia’s wider research explores the representation of connection and intimacy online- exploring more current trends online such as ‘red-pill’ culture and the deeply ingrained misogyny that has been resurfacing within the digital sphere. After graduation she hopes to continue with stone carving and sculpture work.
I am currently studying at Kingston School of Art, where my practice continues to evolve as I deepen my exploration of form, feeling, and the many ways we relate to one another.
