Born in Cambridge England in 1971, Halford’s love for art started at school and led to her studies in textile design. Most of her working career was spent in the fashion and decor industry, where her understanding of the body in space was concretized. She has explored different mediums including painting and illustration, but has fallen in love with clay sculpting, which she uses as a channel for emotional expression.
Conceptually, Halford is interested in how one can establish synergy between materiality, body and space. She delights in how each object, whether textile, painting or sculpture based, can change the tone of a room; or how a piece of clothing can change the appearance and attitude of its wearer.
