LIST OF WORKS: ‘I have loved/I love/I will love’
Pat Hoffie’s career as an artist spans over five decades. Ambitious and expansive, cross-cultural and interdisciplinary, Hoffie’s practice frequently addresses themes of power and postcolonial legacies through consistently centring the human experience.
Hoffie’s ‘I have loved/I love/I will love’ presents the artist’s first extensive body of work in printmaking. Engaging with printmaking’s historical legacy in transmitting images of human conflict, these works draw from the socially mediatised imagery Hoffie has described as interminably running on as ‘the background to my days’. She transforms scenes she has witnessed through the media by using techniques that combine monoprint, drypoint, digital technologies, and found materials.
Content note: This exhibition contains references to the impacts of war.
‘I have loved/I love/I will love’ is on at QAG from August 2025 to February 2026. Learn more about the loan works included in the exhibition, below.
