BOOK NOW

Blurring the lines between the personal and the performative, Wood’s art captures the anxieties and absurdities of contemporary life. Her lush, uncanny paintings often feature found objects, self-portraits, and fragments of consumer culture, revealing the tensions between desire, identity, and control. Alongside her critically acclaimed exhibitions, Wood has also carved out a distinctive space in music, crafting songs that mirror the emotional complexity of her visual art.

This discussion will be moderated by art historian, writer and curator Hector Campbell.

Join us for an evening of insight and conversation with one of today’s most distinctive creative voices.
