Jude Wainwright is an award-winning artist based in Manchester and Studio Manager at AWOL Studios, Hope Mill. Her practice centres on surreal self-portraiture, using layered symbolism and storytelling to explore identity, memory and the performance of the self. Often drawing on historical references and personal experience, her work balances intimacy with a dreamlike sense of theatre. She has exhibited in galleries across the UK, with Spectacle marking her most ambitious solo exhibition to date.
