About
Olivia England (b. 1999, London, United Kingdom) is a London-based multidisciplinary artist concerned with the lived histories of objects, in addition to materiality as a conceptual container for both memory and identity. Her sculptural practice often combines historically industrialised crafts, such as metal and woodwork, with the private- and female connotations of the domestic, and is greatly concerned with these gendered implications.
