Harry Oliver, young artist residency


  • Stroud Valleys Artspace 4 John Street Stroud United Kingdom (map)

Exhibition

21st - 29th March

SVA John St Gallery

Using cameras built from waste and experimental techniques, Harry documents abandoned materials as both artefact and witness, exploring how everyday debris becomes our future archaeologies. He has come to recognise in this process a reflection of his own experience—growing up unaware of his neurodivergence, discarding parts of himself to fit into a patriarchal world that ‘othered’ those who didn’t conform. His work examines the material trace of what we leave behind, both internally and externally, while attempting to see beyond an anthropocentric perspective—to understand the imprint of human existence as part of a larger ecological and material cycle. The audience is invited to contribute their own collected waste to create collaborative prints, forming a shared record of our collective traces.
