Having graduated from Loughborough University in 2017 with a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts and a Diploma of International Studies from The University of Zaragoza, Spain, Studley continues to work internationally as a nature mixed media installation artist.
This experience has allowed her to continue her own artistic practice after relocating from Cheshire in the United Kingdom to Aachen, Germany. This relocation in Europe has opened up new opportunities for her art practice, creating connections with bordering countries such as Belgium, France and The Netherlands. Such connections have led to solo exhibitions, public installations, group exhibitions and gallery representation within and outside of Germany.
It is through site specific, textile and mixed media sculpture and installation that I hope to explore the capabilities of organic and biodegradable materials to express narratives between myself, humanity and our relationship to nature, time and place. Through ephemeral artworks I follow the patterns of growth and decay, considering art as a process rather than one fixed creation. Having been strongly influenced by an upbringing within family agriculture and rural communities in the UK, natural cycles of organic forms have always been a way to document the passage of time, in order to show change, transformation and to prove existence. The work focusses on the gradual biodegrading of ephemeral materials and the process traces they leave behind within the natural landscape.
