Beverley Duckworth GBA

Working with living sculpture and installation, Beverley Duckworth creates spaces and moments which connect the smallest, poetic actions of plants with precarious issues facing humanity. Her practice centres on the afterlife of the discarded and is rooted in small acts of reparation - sewing scraps together, watering fragile seedlings and nurturing the regenerative power of composting from waste materials.

Beverley was born and lives in London. She is a winner of the Gilbert Bayes Award (2025) and was selected for New Contemporaries (2024) and UK New Artists City Takeover (2022). She was awarded an MFA (with distinction) from Goldsmiths University (2024).
