I graduated in May 2024 with a First Class Fine Art degree from The Slade School Of Fine Art, UCL. My work often incorporates my interests in still life, story-telling and historical fashions, engaging with contemporary politics of sex, power and violence with regards to women’s bodies. Fundamental sculptural processes of casting and melding visceral materials such as latex, intersect with a range of other media, including costume, ceramics, painting and print. My own identity and dual nationality of French & English has started to weave itself into my practice, inspired by the trinkets found during childhood trips to ‘les brocantes’ (carboot sales) in France; I am also inspired by the symbolisms within French and English historical fashions and objects. My practice is currently focused on the absence, both historically and presently, of garment extensions such as ‘pockets’. Sensual and secretive vessels which protect, hide and can be likened to bodily spaces, my research currently directs me to the political and gender dynamics surrounding the denial of these private spaces in women’s clothing.
Scarlett recently co-curated and displayed work in a group show, titled ‘A Pocket Full Of Plenty’ in January 2025 in Netil House, Hackney, in collaboration with Hypha Studios and supporting the charity Women For Refugee Women. The exhibition focused on objects and their significance in both history and people’s lives, hoping to highlight personal symbolisms that certain items can hold and the sacrifices people make when forced to leave their homes and their belongings. She has also taken part in other group shows, including ‘Bedrock’ at the Crypt Gallery, curated by the collective, Era Journal; ‘The International Women’s Day Auction, 2024’ organised by Art On A Postcard; she also recently featured in ‘Antigone Revisited’, curated by Marcelle Joseph at Hypha HQ.
