Celestial Body is an artist and designer originally from the U.K. She studied Graphic Design at the University of Lincoln and has an broad background in special educational needs. Her work uses braille letterforms as an ironic visual metaphor to highlight the disparity between what society presents of itself and our experiences of it. Though she also seeks to temper this with reflections on the best of what humanity has achieved, reminding us that we as a whole are often greater than what we feel as an individual.

She produces this work in part due to her own experience as a person who is transgender, through this and other lived experiences she sees the need to reinforce a deeper connection with the identities and ideas to which we oftentimes pay lip service to without truly connecting.

Whilst her techniques and knowledge were tempered and developed both at university and after, she attributes her raw alternative perspectives on communication to have come from her formative years growing up alongside a brother with Williams Syndrome, aswell as a number of intense early life experiences.

The granular detail and scale of her digital canvases speak to the depth and varied nuanced detail within our lives. Throughout all her work she hopes to bring people a moment of pause and reflection to explore things on varied levels so as to truly connect with an idea, and accept the nuance within all things.
