Hi!
I'm Molly (she/they). A queer Disabled artist, maker, Brookes Fine Art BA alumni, life model, and life drawing teacher. I work in many mediums across print, sculpture, drawing and ceramics.
I create pieces using natural and found materials, including foraged berry dyes, textiles, mushroom ink, leaf prints, spore prints, scraps, and clay. I am fascinated by the seen and unseen, boring and beautiful, the domestic, the perfectly imperfect.
It may be through the tactile treasure of the humble cabbage leaf, or the fortunate finding of forageable mushrooms. Or maybe the not-so-fortunate surprise of finding a rat named Pat that lives behind your kitchen sink.
I am also passionate about building communities and have a range of curating, public art, and community experience.
I often forage in local woods to find materials such as mushrooms and leaves.
I work at my home studio, situated in the back room of my home. It looks onto my edible garden.
When I'm not making art, I work as a Community Development Coordinator and Art and Exhibitions Coordinator for Makespace. I get to work with and support a range of fabulous artists and social enterprises, and create beautiful spaces.
I also work at not-for-profit queer community events company T(ART) Productions CIC as a life drawing teacher, and run events and craft sessions.
