Mary Naylor b.2004 is an artist born in Norfolk based in South London. Broken shells are a repeated motif in Naylor’s practice and act as a vessel to explore transformation. This transformation follows narratives of birth and death or experiences of love and grief. The works as a collection are informed by myths and folklore within Ovid’s Metamorphoses, or those surrounding ancient sculpture.
