Elena Hoskyns-Abrahall

B 1998, Edinburgh, UK. Based in London, UK.

Elena is a non-binary artist and has recently achieved their Masters in Sculpture at the RCA. They also graduated with First Class Honours from Camberwell College of Art Sculpture in 2019.

Elena's practice spans a wide variety of ideas and methods however they work predominantly in sculpture and performance, looking at themes relating to Gender, Identity Politics and Queer Theory. A narrative undercurrent often runs through their work, which they use as a framework for exploring a greater message or school of thought. Story-telling through performance and objects is key to Elena's practice.

Looking at the world through the lens of abjection, Elena uses this as a tool for exploring their human experience. Whether it be through objects or performance, the bodily and the repulsive become excellent tools for exploring the dysphoric nature of the human condition.
