Flora Parrott is an artist based in the UK working in sculpture, print and textiles. Flora trained in Printmaking at both The Glasgow School of Art and The Royal College of Art. Her work explores interior landscapes of the body, thinking through the unseen workings and sensations that occur under the skin. The work, often taking the form of tableau or 3-dimensional collage and uses natural forms and everyday objects and experiences to reimagine the mysteries of blurry ultrasound images, the insides of deep, dark pockets and the points at which inside meets outside.
Flora is a post-doctoral researcher on the European Research Council funded project Think Deep based in the Geography Department at Royal Holloway University London.
Her work on the project is concerned with the subsurface, everyday geologies and the imaginative potential of small shifts in depth. Flora often works collaboratively and across disciplines, organising thematic events to underpin and inform artistic research.
