Artist
Name: Beth Waite
Art form: sculpture, film, performance
Artist bio: “I am an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in sculpture, film and performance. My work centres around a personal and shared experience of the feminine, its histories and its mysticism, facilitating a connection between the physical and spiritual through feminist structures, ritual and world-building. Narratives within my practice may be utopian, historical, fictional or other worldly; the work does not exist in complete reality nor fantasy, but the in- between: the home of the feminine soul.”
