Nick Hornby uses 3D modeling as the foundation for abstract sculptures that reference the art-historical canon and challenge notions of authorship.

He started young, creating life-size terracotta figures in school while his classmates labored over simpler pots.

Hornby has eliminated “any form of human subjectivity” over the past decade .

Hornby is eager to level up his hands-on technical skills.

He started the work in 2020 , in the month he turned 40 and broke up with a long-term partner.

Hornby has already experimented with generative AI , which he finds “intoxicatingly exciting, exhilarating, and terrifying”.
