Olana Light is a multidisciplinary artist based in Portsmouth, UK, and a Goldsmiths MFA graduate. Working across sculpture, performance and moving-image, she explores the fluid boundary between body and nature. Her practice evokes belonging as a shared, living state, inviting audiences into inclusive “we-worlds” where human and environment entwine beyond the limits of gallery spaces. In Searching for a Place to Belong, she uses self-portraiture in wearable sculptures made from natural materials, including dandelions, to explore women’s relationship with nature, documenting cycles of change and revealing belonging as an interconnected state between body, environment and time.
