About

Edi is based in Essex and, from time-to-time, East London. Due to chronic illness, most of the time they’re based in bed.

They are an interdisciplinary artist dedicated to a socially-engaged practice that explores, reflects on and documents experiences of time, digital culture, power, identity, and belonging - with a particular focus on disability, place, gender and queerness. After originally developing their craft as a photographer, they now work with a slower, more accessible practice - with mediums including photography, moving image, sound, print and workshops.

Their experience as an educator, trainer, and campaigner influences their participatory and collaborative approach to their creative practice and their thoughts about and work on issues within the creative world and beyond - in particular, access and care.
