As part of the first major presentation of work by Delphi Campbell, a young artist, and winner of the 2023 MADE Summer Art Prize, Delphi will be present in the gallery to meet visitors and give her personal insight into the processes and journey of creating her exhibition 'Unwanted Flesh'. She will be explaining how the various elements forming this body of work refer to her own body’s mapping through chronic illness.
There is also an audio guide in Welsh and English available to accompany the show.

With funding from the Arts Council of Wales, Delphi has spent the last 6 months in a studio in Roath, Cardiff, creating the differing elements that will form a gallery takeover formed of individually crafted elements into a giant tactile nest, a fleshy, pink iteration which forms more than the sum of their parts.
"…Each ounce is imbued with a radical love for bodies. The acceptance of your body into such a space is a liberation. The body of work stems from Delphi’s physical experience of being a queer, disabled woman within a wider system which actively works to repress, silence and exploit. Pain reverberates at both a bodily and societal level, and we recognise its familiar thumping and pounding. This is not about ‘making invisible pain visible’ as such pain is never invisible, not if you have an ounce of compassion, not if you are willing to listen a little bit closer…” - Poppy Jones Little, 2024
