In our ongoing series highlighting Artists and works submitted to our Brownfield Research Centre, each day until July 22nd, we will be highlighting the work of artists submitting to our Open Call.
Sean Roy Parker
Sean Roy Parker is a visual artist and social worker based in London. He studies human attitudes towards waste, the lifecycle of materials and the collective conscience. Capitalising on surplus and antipathy, Parker makes playful composites like chutneys, sculptures and pamphlets, which he distributes locally or globally through exchange. His research focuses on practical problem-solving through collaboration, often taking form as workshops, walking tours and litter picks.
As part of the Brownfield Research Centre, Parker has submitted a selection of work from an ongoing project trying to capture personal, emotional responses towards encountering debris in public green-spaces. Increasingly, he has been processing natural and man-made waste as art materials,developing language around sustainability, painting and composition. Considering the importance of mental health and wellbeing against a backdrop of the Anthropocene, these works offer possible solutions for overwhelmed individuals.
Parker has upcoming exhibitions at Peak Art (London) with May Hands and Good Press (Glasgow) with Hugh Frost, has previously exhibited on wormwormworm.org and at Auto Italia South East, Deptford X and Eastside Projects. He is a current associate of School of the Damned and delivers engagement workshops to fringe communities as PEFAProjects.
