Room 208: Derrick Hodgson

Above is the installation by Derrick Hodgson for Come Up To My Room 2009 at the Gladstone Hotel.

Hodgson’s room… “A box filled with mania… creatures, madreal.com things and stuff…”

Derrick Hodgson is a Toronto based artist and illustrator. He focuses on the application and development of character design. The majority of Hodgson’s imagery is based on his experiences growing up in a small rural community north
of Toronto and relating these experiences to the expanding urban environment. His recent work deals with a theme of rural meets urban and the urge to gain control over our future in relation to an escalating loss of nature.
