Holly Slingsby is based in London
My practice is performative, employing live action, video and drawing. My recent work investigates depictions of the divine. Creating collisions between deities and mythological characters from different traditions, I explore the way imagery is consumed and regurgitated in different cultures. My actions are simple gestures, aiming to provoke re-evaluation of ancient symbols in contemporary contexts.
