ABOUT Esme Podmore
Esme Podmore is an artist from Stowmarket, Ipswitch. Her practice uses found and donated objects, things as diverse as potsherds dug up by chance and a bicycle with a specific personal history. Using these objects and her own text she creates work which explores memory and forgetting. By wrapping objects in strips of cloth or weaving across their surface in a process like that of mending through darning she enacts care upon the objects and the fragilely held memories associated with them. Esme took part in a residency with Suffolk Libraries in 2021 and she has exhibited at the Willesden Green Gallery, London among other locations.
