Whilst allowing herself to be led by an intuitive sense of discovery in the studio, Hutchings attributes her time spent in New York, working as a designer and architect, to the studied way that she conceptualises and develops an idea. On taking an interdisciplinary approach to artmaking, she says, “I think my work across a variety of media stems from study, my work in architecture and my interest in the development of abstraction,” citing post-Impressionist painter Paul Cézanne as an influence.
