While studying Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, Phoebe realised her interest in the emotions of others was more personal than empirical. She pivoted to the Royal College of Art where she established herself as a figurative sculptor, focused on exploring the physicality of the female body through the medium of fabric.
A QEST Garfield Weston Foundation Scholarship funded her second year tuition fees at the RCA. Through the assistance of QEST and its supportive community, Phoebe used the final year of her degree to build both a strong technical and creative foundation to realise the full potential of her female forms and establish a flourishing art practice. Her work explores our internal narratives and sets out to transcribe these inner experiences into physical objects. Their small, hand-held, scale suits the intimate subjects they address. Rather than shouting, their size is an invitation to come closer and engage with their world.
