Bronwen Sleigh was born in Wales in 1980. She received a BA in Illustration from Glasgow School of Art in 2002, and MA in Fine Art Printmaking from The Royal College of Art, London in 2008.
She takes inspiration from industrial architecture, unused and forgotten urban spaces, and environments at the edge of the city. Her work provokes an extended and considered dialogue with these spaces, which she transforms through the processes of her practice. Sleigh’s work explores space rather than describing it, challenging perceptions of the ordinary by presenting it in an unfamiliar way.
Sleigh has exhibited widely both in the UK and overseas, as well as attending several artists residencies including at The Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, Canada and at Cove Park, Scotland.
