Artist Talk: Edie Evans and Clare Twomey
Sunday 18 October | 2pm - 3pm | Booking Required
Edie Evans is an artist whose practice explores ecology, materiality, and embodied making through sculpture, installation, photography, and socially engaged practice. Working with clay and raw earth, her research investigates the relationship between landscape, body, memory, and process, using tactile and site-responsive methods to examine how materials carry geological, cultural, and emotional knowledge. She was the Freelands Studio Fellow at Swansea College of Art (2024–2025), holds an MA with Distinction from Bath Spa School of Art (2023), and a BA (Hons) from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London (2018).
Clare Twomey is a British artist, researcher, and curator. Lives and works in London, UK. Her practice encompasses site-specific installation and performance; she frequently collaborates with institutions, and embraces audience participation and temporality. This artist lead exploration is located in the area of art, ceramics and crafts practices in museum and contemporary art institutions, making original and significant contributions to knowledge in the field.
Clare Twomey’s installations have the social and historical context in which the installation is created as their point of departure. Twomey is actively involved in critical research in the area of the clay practices and the arts, including writing, curating and making. She has developed work, which expands the fields’ knowledge of larger scale installation works.
