Billie Culy is a multi-disciplinary artist from Aotearoa, New Zealand currently based between the UK and Aotearoa.

Working primarily in photography, painting and sculptural work. Attempting to reconfigure the treatment of these mediums, Culy creates imagined worlds, a sense of escapism, exploring notions of memory, nostalgia, environmental impacts, and the importance we place on our surrounding objects. Her works are both records of places and objects, As well as carefully composed explorations of pigment, light and texture. They are at once a nod to the historical, as they are an attempt to break free from the conventions of traditional still life, blurring the line between photography and painting.
