Words : Jyll Bradley

Jyll Bradley (b.Folkestone 1966) was educated at Goldsmith’s College (1985–88) and the Slade (1991–3). Her wide-ranging practice encompasses photographic light-box works, drawing, text and audio. At the core of Bradley's work is an approach to identity which is fluid and mutable rather than prescribed or fixed. A process-lead exploration of 'place' is also key to her practice, which has resulted in significant public projects - including her current work City of Trees commissioned for the Centenary of Canberra, Australia (2013).
