Pippa Eason
Eason’s practice centres on immersive installations that draw from autoethnographic reflections on her relationship with her body and the ways she navigates physical and social spaces. Her work articulates the complexities of an entangled inner world, shaping a visual language built on gesture, interaction, and storytelling that resonates with personal experience.
Over the past decade, she has addressed a critical gap in the socio-political discourse around mental health, particularly from a female perspective. Sculptural installations form the core of this practice, often incorporating recurring motifs and symbolic forms that hold space for vulnerability and resilience alike.
Her multidisciplinary approach spans sculpture, drawing, 3D printing, sound, and performance, offering multiple entry points for expression and introspection. More recently, ceramics have become a central part of her practice, providing a tactile, grounding medium through which to probe the intersections between personal narrative, materiality, and the mind.
This is exemplified in Four-fold Reverie, a large-scale installation unfolding across four immersive environments. The work combines ceramics, scent, sound, moving image, and spatial intervention to create a sculptural encounter with shifting states of perception, embodiment, and emotion. Audiences are invited into an architecture of feeling, where softness meets friction, and suspension meets vitality; a space that embodies the dualities and tensions of lived experience.
