Multidisciplinary Artist

Location:

The Art House, Wakefiled

ABOUT:

Michelle Duxbury is an artist from Leeds, with a studio practice based in Wakefield.

Her practice draws on various creative and academic disciplines working across various media including, but not limited to, embroidery, moving image, sound and immersive installation work. Often combining multiple sensory experiences, embedded with accessibility, allowing her to interrogate the in/accessibility created by traditional hierarchies in visual art.

Her work considers the intrinsic link between landscape, body and identity, in individual and collective connection to landscape, and how this impacts on feelings of belonging/not belonging, drawing on her experiences as a disabled, neurodivergent woman from a working-class background.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
