Kristy Campbell
Kristy Campbell is an Artist, Writer and Educator based in the UK, currently enrolled on the Education, Practice and Society MPhil/PhD at the UCL Institute of Education, London. The completion of an MA in Fine Art in 2014 has seen her exhibit throughout the UK and internationally; venues include Somerset House and Guy’s Hospital at King’s College (London, UK) in 2018, and selection for the CultureLAB residency at Ipswich County Library in 2018.
Campbell’s artwork can be found on the covers of Boiler House Press’s 2019 Fiction collection, along with illustrations for Guillemot Press’s publication by Cathy Galvin.
This practice looks to convey the fluid ambiguity of meaning, manifesting in projects that derive from typographic forms. Her abstract-minimalist designs stem from research on Deconstruction and Deconstructivism.
