Phillip Hall-Patch

Born in 1971 and resident in Brighton, Phillip Hall-Patch is a contemporary artist of mixed heritage and ethnicity (part English and part Iranian). He is a practicing artist and architect working at the boundary between the two disciplines and specialising in the conceptual design of public art installations, sculpture and drawing. His first public art commission in 2010 was for Salt Licks; a two storey canvas of salt that sits on the beach facing the north sea and intended to leave the marks of the sun, rain and wind-blown sand on its continually eroding surface. Salt Licks will be completed in summer 2014.
