Collingridge’s multi-disciplinary practice is focused on the exploration of the human form through the interplay between sculpture and performance art. Her cloth bodies, which are made up of overlapping layers of skin-like rolls that have been hand-stitched from jersey and cotton, celebrate flesh, form and movement, and make us consider what we are made of. They explore the idea of familiarity and our most intimate relationship – the one we have with our own body.

Collingridge says: “My practice is materials led. Experimenting with the possibilities of cloth gets me excited. My current favourite works are the 16th-century anatomical illustrations of Andreas Vesalius. There is a weird juxtaposition of morbid subject matter that’s depicted in an animated way to make the corpses appear alive. They are also beautifully drawn.

“I also draw inspiration from choreographers like Pina Bausch and Yoann Bourgeois. I love the way bodies connect and interact in movement pieces.”

Kennedy adds: “Daisy’s work explores the universal want for human closeness during a time when human connection is so drastically lacking; her works offer a sense of familiarity and comfort. At the heart of Unit London has always been the commitment to bringing people together, and working with Daisy to achieve this has been an immense honour. I can only await in anticipation for everything that she is yet to accomplish.”

Collingridge’s work can next be seen in the group show ‘Fragments’, presented by Subtitle Labs at the Omer Tiroche Gallery, from September 8 until October 5. She will also be revealing a short film that she made in collaboration with director Isabelle Garrett, supported by the Sarabande Foundation, which was set up by the late Lee Alexander McQueen. She says: “We have worked together on different projects for a number of years but it is really exciting to create this film, which is a collision of our two universes.”
