Victoria Rance

Victoria Rance is a sculptor, drawer and animator. Works vary in scale from the minuscule to the enormous, and she works in series. She was the 2003-4 Mark Tanner Award winner and exhibits widely as well as occasional curating and writing. 

'Otherworld' is a series of small sculptures about the magical, mythological relationships between humans, animals and nature.

'I Wish' is an ongoing project in which she makes a talismanic object in response to a one to one conversation about a wish. Her residency at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Woolwich is recorded with huge photographs of the small wishes in the corridors of the children’s wards.

The “Fisherdottir" animations started in lockdown while ill with Covid19, and tell the stories of her alter ego’s interaction with nature and magical creatures.

"In Real Life", her 2021 solo show at Cable Depot was a group of animations and films projected with small sculptures.

'The Night Horse and The Holy Baboon' is part of a series of allegorical tableaux dealing with political power and hierarchies using human and animal form.

'Sculpture to wear' is a series creating a sheltering skin that protects or alters the sense of self, provoking ambivalent responses in the wearer and viewer; their forms suggest a usefulness or functionality. Many have been used in performances, and she records interactions with film, photography and animation.
