Read guest artist Harry Paynes bio below:

‘I’m a multidisciplinary contextual artist whose works explore the realms of history, art, and culture. With a fascination for the past, weaving together narratives, objects and imagery from different historical periods, creating visually captivating pieces. Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of human history, I employ a diverse range of mediums and techniques to explore the complex interplay between time, experience, and society. My artistic practice integrates elements of painting, sculpture, installation, and textiles, resulting in a truly interdisciplinary approach that defies and enhances tradition. Through a meticulous research process, I delve into forgotten narratives and hidden stories, unearthing overlooked perspectives. My works serve as a bridge between the past and the present, inviting viewers to critically engage with history by questioning their own relationship with the past and how it shapes their understanding of the present.’
