Victoria is a UK-based visual artist working in analogue, experimental and digital photography, artist book and printmaking. Her projects are inspired by her interest in natural sciences and history, as well as her life experiences. She draws parallels between human and non-human worlds, and often uses nature and its elements as allegories for human traits and conditions.
Victoria’s practice is largely process driven. She handprints her work and experiments with expired paper, film and darkroom processing until all elements fall into place.
