BIO


MOLLY IS AN ARTIST & ART DIRECTOR. HER WORK, WHETHER IT BE ARTWORK, SCULPTURE, SET INSTALLATION OR CLOTHING,  EXPLORES AFFECT IN BOTH THE VIEWER & THE PIECES.

CENTRAL IS THE IDEA OF THE EARTH’S CENTRIPETAL FORCE; EVERYTHING,  ALL OF US, AS BEING PUSHED TOGETHER & CHANGED BY ONE ANOTHER, WHETHER WE ARE AWARE OF IT, OR NOT.

THE SENSES ARE THE MAIN ACCESS POINT FOR THE WORK. EXPLORED VIA EARTHLY, OFTEN SEEMINGLY DISPARATE  MEDIUMS & IMAGERY, ALL WHICH APPEAL TO OUR SENSORY SELVES.

SET INSTALLATION

Co-founder of the design collective MILK

MILK CREATES LOUD SYSTEM CHALLENGING STRUCTURES; DEVICES DESIGNED TO COLLECTIVELY ACQUIRE, DEVELOP AND DISTRIBUTE KNOWLEDGE AROUND UNSUSTAINABLE ATTITUDES & ACTIONS






TERRA/OR // GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2024
Terra/or is a place for rooting and connection, where you feel dance, movement and ravers beyond, but in stillness. A garden to gather thoughts and exchange them, Terra/or brings up questions related to land, terrain, territory, borders, boundaries and greedy extractions and colonisations from the earth's rock. Plants grow inside the dome to symbolise hope and to stimulate presence required to effect positive change. To care for each other and for the earth.

SPAC£ SUCKS // GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2023
Space Sucks is an abandoned Space Station. A long-forgotten relic from the race to Mars between Space X, Virgin Atlantic and Blue Origins, all companies owned by the world's billionaires. Space Sucks is a cautionary tale of hubris, greed and capitalism. Lo-fi earth footage, projected nostalgically on the dome walls. What was once cordoned to our blue planet has been transposed to the red planet fuelled by illusions of limited resources, greed, competition and privatisation for financial gain. As the billionaires shed the histories of earth off of their shoulders like a silk smoking jacket and start all over again on Mars, to them we say SPACE SUCKS.
In situ - what we value is what we see outside the dome and projected onto its walls - human connection, plant kind, dance, music, nature, community, touch, trees, anarchy - Shangri-la. The powers of humankind working circularly within our planetary boundaries.


Space Sucks (2023), Glastonbury Festival; GEODESIC DOME; upcycled polycarbonate, timbeR

Space Sucks represents the abandonment of Earth and all its wonders. Debuting in the Shangri La district of Glastonbury Festival 2023.
