Photographer. Artist.Daisie Coates is a visual artist from Cornwall graduating in 2026 from the Photography BA at UWE. She also completed a study abroad programme at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, where she developed her practice within an international context. Her work is inspired by personal experiences that explore themes of gender, anthropology, and belonging. With an experiential process that is underpinned by extensive research, her photographs shift between constructed imagery and intuitive practice. By exploring how images offer meaning, her work aims to question ideas around authorship and representation. Whilst Daisie is interested in all photographic forms, her graduate photography project 'Uncut' uses constructed imagery to challenge both power and control structures. This work has been exhibited at multiple small venues across the UK.
