Delphi Campbell
Delphi’s relationship with chronic illness is at the core of her work. Sickness and queerness align, allowing her to embrace multiple illnesses. Working with drawing , collage, and sculpture Delphi’s work reflects the unique characteristics her specific conditions.
“My practice exists as a somewhat absurd guide to myself, and I view all my work as self-portraiture, each piece demonstrating some small facet of my being. They reflect my life on an intersection, the raw and ravaging experiences of being a crippled, mad and queer woman, but also the unbridled joy and love that exists in these identities. While my work stems from my personal lived experiences, through memories, body and mind, it also considers the socio-political frameworks that uphold these oppressive systems.”
Delphi has exhibited in Worcester, Cardiff, Oxford, Bath and at MOMA Machynlleth as one of their selected nine Young Welsh Artists 2021-22, and through Covid-19, participated in a number of digital exhibitions. Delphi has also curated a number of shows in Cardiff. In 2022 Delphi graduated from the Ruskin, Oxford University with an MFA in Fine Art, and undertaken a fellowship with the British Council at the Venice Biennale.
