Daisie Coates is a visual artist from Cornwall currently in her final year of the Photography BA at the University of the West of England. She has recently returned from 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.
