The Approach
London E2 9LY

Overview

Proudfoot uses sculpture, textile, text and performance to weave together personal experience, historical references and contemporary cultural observations. Seeking articulation for amorphous feelings such as shame, grief and strength, she pushes the metaphorical and narrative potential of materials.

Her forthcoming exhibition The Voice of the Play is named after the narrator-esque character in Helene Cisoux's 1976 play 'Portrait of Dora’ - a re-writing of the historical figure of 'Dora' who was the subject of Freud's infamous 1905 case study on female hysteria. 

Paloma Proudfoot (b. 1992, London, UK) lives and works in London.
