About
Davina Drummond is an artist and educator who lives and works in London. You can contact her by emailing davina@davinadrummond.co.uk
Davina Drummond graduated with a B.A.(hons) in Fine Art Textiles from Goldsmiths College, London in 2005 and with a postgraduate diploma in Art Education from the Institute of Education, London in 2007 . She works at the intersection between art and art education, purposely blurring the boundaries between the two disciplines. She creates site or date specific relational works, often incorporating the use of text and textiles. Davina’s practice explores modes of making artworks, which involve the process of social interactions and creative collaborations with others in gallery, non-gallery spaces and educational settings. Her shows/events include Tea for Thought at Tate Modern 2009, Eight Weeks of Change at Space Station Sixty-Five 2007, London and Living In A Material World Art Textiles 3 British Arts Council 2005, London.
Davina currently works as a part time tutor in the Visual Arts and Design department at the BRIT School and she just recently left (in Autumn 2009) Chisenhale Gallery, where she was the Education Curator for two years to concentrate on her own practice.
