Artist: Margarita Frančeska Ieva Loze (b. 1997, Latvia)
Title of work: Photography book. 2022.
Info:
Margarita is a recent graduate of MFA Fine Art from Kingston School of Art. She has been nominated for The Muse Residency 2024 and in 2022, she was selected for the Venice Biennale Fellowship programme.
Margarita's work is an exploration of the subtle beauty of life’s moments and a celebration of the poetics of the ordinary. Her recent work combines textile production with the use of found objects.
Through her experimental narrative approach, Margarita makes a dreamlike ontology, to capture the nuances of spatial, temporal and poetic navigation.
