More about the artist:
Verity Coward works across sculpture, painting and moving-image to reflect on agency in the mechanisms of storying. Through a practice embedded in material and process, she samples and reconfigures themes from literature, fables, cartoons and current affairs to play with shifting states, cyclical refrains and satirical possibilities.

Selected exhibitions, screenings and projects include: 'Unruly Bodies' Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art, 'Highly Educated Secular Salamanders' Massimo de Carlo Gallery, curated by Monster Chetwynd, 'Eat Dust!' film STEMS screening Horse Hospital, 'Metamorph' screening at Soul Festival, The Bomb Factory, Verity also recently had a solo project with Guts Projects, London in 2024.

This exhibition has been developed in partnership with Talent Accelerator (De La Warr Pavilion) with Chantry Community Primary School, supported through essential funds from Arts Council England, and our vital core funding from Rother District Council. Our refurbishments have been generously funded by the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Governments' 'Levelling Up Partnership' capital funding programme.
