A contemporary artist based in Leeds whose practice centres around social history, geography and play. Pippa’s artworks are often site specific and include large-scale installations in heritage venues, the public realm and galleries in a range of media that includes foam, inflatables, food, film, sound, iron, digital technology, neon and loaned objects.

Pippa is passionate about social history and enjoys spending time researching the history and geography of locations. Pippa loves working with people and her projects often involve large numbers of participants who have a personal connection to the site. Most recently, Pippa has begun to explore the idea of co-creation where local people aren’t just participants in the delivery of her ideas, but included in the research, conception and production of artworks.

Much of Pippa’s work seeks to close the gap between past and present, drawing on history and playfully interpreting it through the lens of contemporary art to connect with audiences in new and exciting ways.
