ESTHER WARD

UK

Esther Ward describes her artistic practice as drawing together the threads of research of place, peoples, materials and the making process. She is particularly interested in the curation of archives and the voices heard and absent within them, and how she can present her own work within the format of a living archive. Often site or event specific, she considers her work an invitation for others to find space to connect with their own life stories. She has worked in diverse locations from derelict buildings, landscapes of historic interest, a shipping container and within museums. Her lifelong interest in the connective threads of place, people and materials is currently exploring the paradox of powerlessness and resilience in the narratives of place.
