Profile Picture
Donna Lowson
Donna Lowson is an MFA artist at Sheffield Hallam University whose practice explores human hair as a material witness to memory, labour, and feminist histories. Working across sculpture, installation, and participatory methods, she combines Victorian hairwork techniques with materially led enquiry. Her practice extends into museum contexts through workshops, demonstrations, and archival collaboration, where embodied making becomes a tool for generating and sharing knowledge. Through collecting, handling, and reworking hair, Lowson constructs intimate yet collective archives that question how histories are valued, preserved, or forgotten, foregrounding the emotional and political agency of materials beyond the body.
