About
Olivia England (b.1999) is a London- based multidisciplinary artist.
Her object-based practice investigates the materiality and poetics of sentimental, tender and memorable belongings. Through the use of reconstituted imagery, text and the ready-made she hints at memories of the private and domestic and the lived history of objects.
