Bio

Cordelia is an artist whose practice centres collaboration and long-term engagement with communities, using photography and installation to explore identity, place, and collective experience.

Her work is developed through direct engagement with participants, who contribute to how they are represented within the work—through gesture, presence, and personal expression—while the overall composition and structure remain artist-led.

Working across public and community contexts, including healthcare and rural settings, she creates site-responsive work embedded within everyday environments. Projects often combine portraiture with spatial interventions, bringing individual and collective narratives into shared view.

Alongside her artistic practice, she is actively involved in her local community in North Kensington, including through residents’ association leadership and campaigning. This experience informs her approach to collaboration, participation, and working within complex social contexts.

Her practice is grounded in an interest in visibility and representation: who is seen, how they are seen, and where that visibility takes place. Through collaboration, the work seeks to reflect lived experience while creating space for connection and recognition.

Cordelia lives and works in London and holds an MA from the Royal College of Art.
