Rebecca Edery is a Bristol based, socially engaged artist, working to form communities. She works with situations and conversations, acknowledging dialogue as a creative act. The work ranges from scripted encounters to extremely open works, always leaving room for elements of the unknown to encounter and become a part of the work. The continuing creative process is foregrounded over finality in the form of outcomes and art objects.

Edery’s practice is concerned with exploring ways to dissolve the social boundaries which inhibit both individual agency and connections between people.

She aspires to show how the artistic process is analogous to the process of living.
