SCARLETT ROSE POCHET
Scarlett Pochet is a multidisciplinary artist based in London. Her practice embeds a range of media, including sculpture, costume, print and photography, taking an interest in how they coincide and subvert one another. Lacing these materials and their psychologies, Scarlett attempts to engage with contemporary politics of sex, power and violence with regards to women’s bodies and their safety. Her work often adopts a still life lens and take inspiration from its traditional, ripe scenes of nourishment, abundance and human frivolity. Her practice is concerned with the underlying darkness and decay in still life and how this antithesis of grandeur and grotesque is mirrored in contemporary feminine contexts. Through symbols, including bulbous bellies, corseted eggs and empty snail shells, she attempts to personify the hatching of new narratives and the decay of old.
