Born and raised in the South of England with mixed Dominican-British heritage, I have been actively seeking community and understanding of the world(s) around me from a young age. Having graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor in Media and Culture from the Design Academy Eindhoven I went on to work within graphic design and performance in Berlin, Seville and Tel Aviv.
Currently graduating with an MA in Contemporary Art Practice from the RCA, London. Working between digital and print-media, performance, sculpture, and painting – my practice pushes me to experience the world from different perspectives which tend to at once overlap, interweave, compliment and contradict each other
I have exhibited / performed at the Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven, Habait theatre Tel Aviv, Gallerie V Cambridge, The Factory Project, HOME by Ronan Mckenzie, Harlesdon High School and Soho House in London.
Woolford’s work largely explores and critiques shared experiences of contemporary (sub) culture(s). Identity, belonging and freedom are concepts which heavily inspire the outcomes of their work, ultimately leading them to uncover and address opposing themes of rejection, detachment and disorientation.
Woolford’s articulation process acts as a conversation; sometimes between them and themself, but mostly between the many versions of their portrayed selves and the people surrounding them.
