What is it that marks the passage of time for us as individuals? Phill Hopkins, originally a native of Bristol, educated at Goldsmith's and for a long time an established artist that has chosen to locate himself in Leeds, has a voracious appetite for world news and the situations that we as human beings find ourselves subject to. 'Daily' takes us into the world of 24hr news broadcasts and social media memes from the perspective of an artist in the studio.
Further Reading on this project can be found in the publication Hypogeal. The publication is now out-of-print but can be found in the Libraries of the Henry Moore Institute and Leeds Beckett University.
