BIO

CJ BARR (they/them) is an interdisciplinary conceptual artist, crafter and photographer focused on everyday aesthetics and found materials. They graduated with a BA(hons) in Contemporary Art Practice from Gray’s School of Art in 2020, and an MFA in Arts & Humanities (with Distinction) from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in 2023.

​

They are exploring new ways of creating practical items whilst being rooted in the process of becoming and potentiality. Their work aims to highlight the value of objects, everyday aesthetics, and the potentiality of objects through the process of iteration and playfulness.

​

After dealing with some changes of circumstance, they have now returned to creating new pieces that are more tactile and playful. By incorporating fibre creations that are both considered and free-formed, they are exploring everyday associations through texture.
