Sensational Nonsense by Eliza Bertwistle explores the sensory and emotional impacts of decoration, playfully challenging gendered hierarchies of aesthetic taste.
Through a visually indulgent body of work, Bertwistle draws on euphoric memories triggered by sensory experiences with decorative objects, inviting audiences to reconsider the emotional, cultural and personal meanings attached to ornamentation and beauty.
