Bio: Rebecca Halliwell-Sutton (b.1991, Bolton) lives and works in Manchester, graduating from the Royal Academy Schools programme (2018-2022) winning the Patricia Turner Sculpture Prize. She previously studied at Manchester School of Art (2016) and won the 2016 Woon Prize Foundation Fellowship with BALTIC & Northumbria University and graduated from School of The Damned, an alternative self-organised MA, in 2018.

 Rebecca’s work engages sculpture, photography and writing utilising the transformative properties of materials. Their references span many points in time, connected to bodies and land, but ultimately the meaning dissolves into the making and the practice explores how sculpture can embody and invoke feeling.
