Fine Art 2021
I am a Fine Artist. My work focuses on the body and gender politics. My practice involves films, performances, sculptures and 2D images. I work at constellating these diverse elements into installations. Since starting my degree in Bristol I have been a part of peer lead exhibitions in and out of University. I have also rented my own studio space with six other artists this year which allowed me to continue my large scale practice. I will be putting on exhibitions in Bristol over the summer with a Bristol based collective called Connect.
