Steve Hines

I was born and grew up in Nottingham, England. I moved to Sunderland, England in 1995 to study for my (1st Class) BA(Hons) Degree in Photography, Video & Digital Imaging. In 1999 I moved up the road to Newcastle upon Tyne where I remained until 2005, apart from a 5 month spell of living in Paris in 2002. In 2005 I moved to London and gained a MA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins in 2006.
I am interested in manipulating meaning and deconstructing this to offer alternative narratives. I am currently working with found objects and materials where I alter perceived qualities and attributes, enhancing an objects materiality or its accepted signification.
