Matilda Moors is an artist and educator working with sculpture, writing, and installation. Her work addresses the relationship between cuteness and violence by drawing connections between the physical stresses and abnormalities of cartoon or monstrous bodies and ideas of abjection and difficulty associated with historical feminist and queer artwork. Blending the raw aesthetic of fandom with the polished veneer of animation.
Moors has exhibited throughout the UK and internationally at galleries and institutions including; Somerset House (London), The Horse Hospital (London), Scai the Bathhouse (Tokyo), The Royal Standard (Liverpool), Supercollider (Blackpool), and Strange Cargo (Folkestone). Her writing has appeared in Garageland Magazine and Monstrous Flesh Journal and she is the recipient of the Eaton Fund Grant, the Tokyo Geidai residency and the Mara Lopf Print Prize. She was a founding member of School of the Damned (an alternative MA course) and co-ran artist-led project space SAUNA.
