Ayesha is an interdisciplinary artist and facilitator from London. Using their background in jewellery as a conduit for speculating ontological relationships, they explore animism and mediums as messages, expressing anti-colonial wisdom, decontextualised adornment, and mysterious materials — past and future — that float in open-ended dialogues between the body and psycho-magic states.
Their practice forms at the intersections of the body and technology and is guided by a symbiosis between the cosmos and conditions of consciousness — merging bodies, both human and non-human, to locate oneself not just in the world, but of it. Figurative forms dance in repetitions, illustrating cyclical and divine glitters in nature and collapsing time around us.
Since graduating from Central St. Martins, Ayesha has exhibited their work internationally and garnered recognition from esteemed platforms such as Dover Street Market (UK), Goldsmiths Centre (UK) and featured in publications like British Vogue (UK), Hunger Magazine (UK) and Current Obsession (NL). With ongoing and previous awards and residencies including: Blackhorse Road Maker in Residence (UK) (Current), Arebyte X Goldsmiths University Artist in Residence (UK), Morley College Metal Scholarship (UK), Al.ter Artist in Residence (IN) Crafts Council (UK).
