Bio
& CV
Bridie Gill is an interdisciplinary artist working across installation, image-making and participatory practice. Their research spans ecological fantasy, storytelling and class politics in an age of increasing individualism and austerity. They grew up on a small council estate in North Leeds, and credit much of their material understanding to this experience of childhood - their current work orbiting the physical and emotional container of the Wendy House they played in with their sibling as a kid.
Uggly Bugga is the artists insectile performance identity; a drag creature whose name winks back at coarse Yorkshire grandmas.
Early-career artist based in Glasgow, Scotland
