Chandelle Waugh (b.1998, Stirling, UK) graduated from her BA Honours in sculpture with a first class degree in 2020, with a notable solo show held at Whitespace Edinburgh, Funeral for a F*ckboy. Returning to Glasgow in 2020/21 to endevour on her masters studies.

Through an autobiographical practice Waugh aims to unpick the fundamental challenges of the female experience, opening conversation and normalising the topics once taboo. Through creating raw, unedited, work she hopes to create empathetic relationships, provoking emotional responses.

These works centre around finding power through vulnerability, through the investigation of domestic abuse analysing her own experience, mending wounds by opening her own. Exploring themes of dehumanisation and power vs vulnerability she aimed to untangle the more hidden aspects of domestic abuse, psychological manipulation, degradation and control. By dissecting gendered environments, creating juxtapositions between delicacy and brutality she estabilishes the relationship between object and response. Creating analogical relationships helps bridge the gap between what you are seeing and how you are feeling, allowing more control over how feelings are perceived.
