Tanya Axford (born 1973 Maidstone, Kent) graduated from Newcastle University in 1997, and has exhibited widely. Often using multiples of everyday items, her works are often site-specific, making installations and interventions for both the gallery space and the landscape. Using mass-produced and familiar materials Axford manipulates, challenges and transforms them into temporary works, systematically fulfilling their latent potential with unique and playful results.
