Join artist Hamish Pearch to create your own 3D paper city. Using Hamish’s printouts, you’ll design and construct buildings by transforming flat shapes into dynamic, free-standing structures. Through cutting, gluing, and assembling, you’ll create a growing cityscape. With three difficulty levels to choose from, you can experiment with different shapes and designs. Use colour and collage as you explore the relationship between the natural and the man-made.
Materials:
• Paper printouts – available on the Hospital Rooms website below
• A ruler
• A glue stick
Optional Materials:
• Scissors
• Watercolour or Acrylic paint
• Paint brushes
• Paint palette
• Colouring pencils

Hamish Pearch (b. 1993, London, UK) earned his BFA from Camberwell College of Arts (UAL) in 2015 and received a Postgraduate Diploma from the Royal Academy Schools, London, 2019. The artist reflects on the complex structures humanity occupies, exploring the materials, objects and spaces that make up our worlds. Through sculpture, installation, drawing and sound, his practice gives form to human experiences and systems that are mundane and magical in equal measure. Pearch’s sculptures mix, merge and remake forms to create objects of instability. Found objects, natural forms and commonplace materials are used alongside cast and modelled sculptures made from Jesmonite and resin. In other cases, objects seem frozen on the brink of metamorphosis. These volatile objects present material and metaphorical meeting points, where everyday objects slip between states of reality and the unconscious.
