THE ARTIST
Joshua Woolford
Bound
​
Joshua Woolford is a transdisciplinary artist in that the outcomes are largely an intuitive reaction to my experiences - rather than pre-formulated expressions within certain mediums. Joshua works between digital and print- and media, performance, sculpture, sound, installation and painting.

In this way Joshua's practice pushes themself to experience the world from different perspectives which tend to at once overlap, interweave, complement and contradict each other have exhibited / performed at the Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven, Habait theatre Tel Aviv, Gallerie V Cambridge, The Factory Project, HOMEby Ronan Mckenzie, Harlesdon High School, Soho House and Reference Point in London.
​Woolford’s work largely explores and critiques shared experiences of contemporary (sub) culture(s). Identity, belonging and freedom are concepts which heavily inspire the outcomes of their work, ultimately leading them to uncover and address opposing themes of rejection, detachment and disorientation.
Woolford’s articulation process acts as a conversation; sometimes between them and themself, but mostly between the many versions of their portrayed selves and the people surrounding them.
