About:

Phoebe's practice is defined by its location and context. She works in response to and in collaboration with individuals and communities, investigating and exploring how people perceive their social framework. Phoebe generates work through instruction, discussion and live interaction, which may be initiated by an individual or group but completed or extended by others.

Her work is often ephemeral and chanced upon existing primarily in pedestrian spaces in addition to galleries and institutions; including; Whitechapel Gallery (London), Arnolfini (Bristol), Tramway (Glasgow), South London Gallery (London) and Camden Arts Centre (London).

As part of the artist collective DARTER, Phoebe was Artist in Residence at Whitechapel Art Gallery in 2011 - 2012.
