Leeds
I am an artist based in Leeds and from Sunderland, UK, working across sculpture, writing, drawing, print and moving image.

Jill McKnight (b. 1990) is an artist based in Leeds and from Sunderland, UK, working across sculpture, writing, drawing, print and moving image. Central to her practice is exploring working-class, feminist and artistic lineages to tell stories that would otherwise be lost or overlooked. From starting points of archival research, interviews, embodied family and community knowledge, recent work has sought to address and respond to the frequent vacuum in the visual arts around the experiences of working-class people.
