Josephine Baker

Josephine Baker (b. 1990, London, UK) completed her undergraduate studies at Central Saint Martins in London in 2012, and her postgraduate in 2017 at the Royal Academy Schools, London.  For Josephine, making sculptures is like writing alternative physical stories to those with which we fabricate our world. Industrially-processed and altered almost beyond recognition, the materials she uses are reconfigured and reimagined, in a challenge to the capitalist trajectories that have produced them. In reclaiming the depiction of landscape and natural phenomena from its cooption into imperialist narratives, different realities are allowed to take shape.
