Biography
Working with an array of materials including clay, seaweed and bioplastic, Louise creates highly textured surfaces to bring attention to the patterns and textures created by nature, magnifying micro details alongside man-made interventions. By collecting materials from her local coastline to use as materials in her work, Louise’s works are conceptually and physically linked to her local landscape where she takes her inspiration.
Louise graduated from CityLit with a Ceramics Diploma (2019) and from Kingston University with a BA (Hons) Fine Art degree (2009). In 2021 Louise received ‘DYCP’ Arts Council England Funding to research the use of local materials in her work. Last year Louise was selected as a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors. Recent exhibitions include ‘Entangled’ by Liminal Gallery, Saatchi Gallery, London; ‘Living Materials’, Aspex Portsmouth; ‘It gathered here’, Liminal Gallery, Margate; ‘Meant to Fade’, Laneway Gallery, Ireland; ‘2023 Ingram Prize’, Pavilion Gallery, London & ‘Collect Open 2023’, Somerset House, London.
