HEIDI PEARCE
Heidi Pearce (b. 1996) is a London based artist, originally from Kent. Predominantly working in textile, sculpture, and installation, Pearce’s work usually takes the form of the same dog-like form, almost like a signature.The use of this repetitive ‘signature dog’ allows her to question ideas of belonging, social interaction and humour through an uncanny lens. Pearce takes inspiration from quips and one liners of everyday interactions; whether they be funny, awkward, bizarre or frightfully boring.
After graduating from Goldsmiths University in 2019, Pearce has exhibited extensively across London and elsewhere in the UK with solo shows at Bermondsey Project Space and with Danuser & Ramirez, London, 2022. Other exhibitions include Just a Bunch Of String, Hypha Studios, 2023; Creature Comforts, JGM Gallery, 2023; <what the future holds> Bern, Switzerland, 2022; Permanent Temporary, London Design Festival, 2022; Let Them Eat Fake, Bad Art presents, 2023; StART Art Fair, Saatchi Gallery, 2021; Honey I’m Home?! with Tobias Bradford, Limbo Collective, London, 2018. Exhibiting in both galleries and public spaces, she has completed The School of the Damned Alternative Masters programme and has been part of exhibitions in non traditional gallery spaces such as a church, a law firm, multiple pubs/breweries and other public settings.
​
As well as an artist, Pearce works with multiple galleries and project spaces in London, with an ethos of connection and 'giving a leg up'.
