About
Edi is based in Essex and, from time-to-time, East London. Due to chronic illness, most of the time they’re based in bed.
After starting out as a photographer, they have been developing their practice to centre access and spaciousness. This has meant working at a slower, more long-term pace focusing on process and engagement - incorporating textiles, print, writing, moving image and sound, and performance.
Edi aims to create socially-engaged work that explores experiences of community and marginalisation, memory and imagination - in particular they focus a lot on care, queerness, gender and cripness. They think a lot about time, the internet, the ways we can show up for each other, and the role artists play in building a better world - and struggle with being succinct.
