18/07/2023

Resonate Bodies

Fusion Arts Oxford has collaborated with curator Phoenix Hunt and artists Delphi Campbell, Meg Erridge, and Laura Campell to host the RESONATE BODIES exhibition.

The exhibition seeks to give voice to marginalized experiences within healthcare, with an emphasis on the lived experiences of disabled artists.The title RESONATE BODIES recognizes the human body as a vessel which resonates, whether that is the sound of ones’ own breath, heartbeat, or the resonance of memories and accumulated experiences. The exhibition invites its viewers to examine their own relationships to their bodies and reflect upon their own interactions with the healthcare system. That is, in what ways might you find yourself resonating?

Delphi Campbell

Delphi Campbell is a sculptor exploring self-portraiture who holds a MFA from The Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford. To date Delphi has exhibited extensively across the South West of the UK and at MOMA Machynlleth as one of their selected nine Young Welsh Artists 2021-22. Most recently, Delphi undertook a fellowship with the British Council at the Venice Biennale 2022. She will be exhibiting works in various mediums including painting, and sculpture.

Meg Erridge

Meg Erridge completed her MFA at The Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford. She is a multimedia artist who will be exhibiting drawings and preforming “Sour Puss.” Her performance of “Sour Puss” will only be taking place during the exhibition opening from 6-9pm on Friday 21 July 2023.

Laura Campbell

Laura Campbell is an Oxford-based artist who holds a MFA from Oxford Brookes University. Her practice contributes to conversations of disability, and how her own experience fits into socio-political spheres within contemporary arts. Laura uses her body as material through performance processes, exploring the sculptural nature of the image through the material and visual representations of stretching and pain. Her work provides direct political commentary and discourse on social policy and accessibility, whilst challenging patriarchal and ableist political ideology. Laura navigates her bodily experience through the current political climate that forces her to justify her existence and value as a disabled woman and artist. Her exhibit will feature stretched fabric and projections.

Phoenix Hunt

Phoenix holds a MA in the History of Art from The Courtauld Institute of Art. She is a storyteller by nature and a curator by practice. Phoenix has long had a passion for working with artists and creating spaces of contemplation within a gallery setting. She approaches curation as a means of philosophical enquiry and artistic celebration. As an academic Phoenix’s research focuses on intersections between art and the death care system. She particularly enjoys curating exhibitions including sculpture and textiles.
