Warboys’ practice spans sculpture, painting, film and installation, often featuring found objects that are used as a point of departure for visual narratives and documented performances. The Guardian describes the work as “deeply romantic, breathing new life into historical figures and ideas. Like a JW Turner or a Friedrich, she’s keen on the great outdoors, but uses a radical approach.” Here she discusses recent projects in the context of her wider practice.
