Beverley Duckworth

SLQS Gallery x Art Elsewhere Stand: 111
Working with living sculpture and installation, Beverley Duckworth creates spaces and moments which connect the smallest poetic gestures of plants with social and ecological precarity shaping contemporary life. Her practice centres on the afterlife of the discarded and is rooted in small acts of reparation - sewing scraps together, watering fragile seedlings and nurturing the regenerative power of composting from waste materials. 

Duckworth was born and lives in London and is a winner of the Royal Society of Sculptor’s Gilbert Bayes Award (2025). She was shortlisted for the John Ruskin Prize (2026) and was awarded a studio residency with the Sarabande Foundation (2025). She was selected for New Contemporaries (2024) and UK New Artists City Takeover (2022). She graduated with an MFA (with distinction) from Goldsmiths University (2024). 


Duckworth has exhibited in the UK and internationally, with recent solo exhibitions including: From Below, SLQS Gallery, London (2025) and group exhibitions: Patience in Looking, Truth in Making, The John Ruskin Prize, London (2026); Terra Forming Futures, The Royal Society of Sculptors Gilbert Bayes Award Winners show, London and Wakefield (2026); Buffet d'art, Ambika P3, London (2026); Echo Soho with House of Bandits, London (2025); New Contemporaries, ICA, London (2025); Permission to Bloom, Don’t Look Projects, LA (2025); Crawling Home, Salzburg (2025); New Contemporaries, KARST, Plymouth (2024); Minor Attractions with SLQS Gallery, London (2024); Entanglements and Denials, Tang Museum, Dongguan, China (2024); A Landscape of Chance, SLQS Gallery, London (2024); The London Group Open, Copeland Gallery, London (2023); Now Introducing, Studio West, London (2022); Hypha Presents, 56 Conduit St, London (2022); UKNA City Takeover, The Attenborough Centre, Leicester (2022); The State of Things, Küefer-Martis-Huus, Liechtenstein (2021).
