Joshua Edgington

Edgington (b.1991) is an emerging Midlands artist making largely autobiographical works exploring mental illness, trauma and memory.

While studying part time for a MA in art history, Edgington began to experiment ways of making work through textiles, photography, drawing and illustration before arriving at the current practise of mixed media painting and drawing. 

Edgington’s aim is to keep spontaneity, intrigue, sensitivity and a childlike quality present in all works.
