Rooted in a deep engagement with fabric, form, and movement, Daisy Collingridge reconfigures the human body into exuberant, shape-shifting sculptures. Her meticulously crafted, wearable forms challenge conventional anatomy, inviting viewers to encounter the body as something elastic, imaginative, and unbound by biological certainty.

Collingridge’s practice probes the interplay between excess and vulnerability. By amplifying folds, masses, and textures, her soft sculptures reveal the performative nature of embodiment while celebrating its tenderness. These humorous yet poignant figures ask us to reconsider how identity is carried, constructed, and animated through flesh and gesture.

In Expanded Bodies, her work unfolds as a study in transformation and permeability. Collingridge proposes anatomies that stretch beyond normative expectations—bodies that hold play, discomfort, and delight in equal measure. Through this expanded physical vocabulary, she opens a space where alternative ways of existing can be imagined, and where the body becomes a site of ongoing possibility.
