Celeste Anstruther is an artist working in darkroom photography, drawing and sculpture to create experimental images as memory maps, condensed from a sensory archive. Taking an elliptical approach to the corporeal, their work disorientates visibility, reflecting the struggle to see and be seen, remembered and embodied.
